Dncing

By, Wendiann Alfieri

One day

I was looking down

Hoping I’d always

Stay on the ground

I turned a corner

And I found something

So beautiful

But so driven by pain

She looks up to me

Eyes desperate they cling

She’s sitting alone

A puppet on strings

Still she got up and took a step

Pushed away all the tears she wept

She looks at me

A soul not yet lost

she falls into me

we will never part

We try

Dancing

She was moving her feet

she’s still Tied by one thread

Whose else was gonna help her be the girl in the mirror

she used to see

She and I both knew

Someone had to cut the ties

That were developed from her past and her lies

She turned to me

Desparetly

So I took it upon me

To show her the earth

Together I just

Cut that thread first

We try dancing

We try dancing

Years go by

We’ve both lived our lives

Lying in bed dreaming

That Neither of us want

Our performance to end

We close our eyes and sweep the floor

I start Heading

To an open door

I step through

I look back

It’s not your time yet

You look at me

After all we been through

The first thing you feel

Is your heart turn to ash

The next thought perusing

You don’t want to explain

that You have an excuse

To go back to The pain from your past

Falling fast

Cause that’s what you were used to

As much as I don’t like to admit

That that’s how you were when I met you

She tries dancing

She tries dancing

wonders why

Can’t she

Be with me?

Dancing alone

Painfully

Realizing she’s to blame

Not for my death

For something

More than I’d like to admit

Her games she pulled

The emotions she’s split

she’s sad that I’ve gone

Her world slowly crumbles
