Dance

Shall we dance,

Take a chance

He asked me

And I knew

He would be true

About his lies

He had already,

Trembling unsteady

Unwound me

Plucked the strings

Within the rings

Of my beating heart

Taught me to live

So I could give

The unknown

Left me alone

With the stone

In my chest

Yet I still love

As if from above,

How foolish

For with him

I can swim

The rapids of life

A fleeting dance

One more chance

Before death consumes
