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
She picks up a bottle
She’s leading a dance
To hell and back
Taking life in
Numbing it just as fast
It took your freedom my love
The rush comes and goes as I rise above
You still weeped and prayed
Time passes away
You wake up fast
Your head hurts
You’ve relapsed
This is the final straw
You can’t do this to yourself any longer
You begin to pick yourself off the floor
Wanting and knowing
There’s more to live for
Soon your strength comes
From what you’ve had to endure
No longer will regret and what you had to catch
Make you feel
you can’t move on at last
The happy person you are
After tragedy
Turned out to be
your life’s prophecy
She is dancing
I see you dancing dancing
I’m proud
As can be
You still love dancing dancing
You keep on
Moving
Time is Ticking away
you go to bed
There’s an open door
I hold out my hand
As I see you
You aren’t sure you want to push through
Knowing The fact
that age finds us all,
Will the choices you used to make
Haunt you to the grave
So inside you start to retract
The light turns on
Before you can take it back
We make eye contact
The words rush through your veins
The next words you say:
“ Let’s go and dance this night away”
Now that’s over
We both are one
Together nothing can stop us
In This promised land
I dance, You dance
They dance, We dance
We dance
We dance
We dance
We...
