THE DANCE

the band strikes the first chord
the drums begin to beat
my heart quickens
when our eyes meet
i take your hand
you take mine
we take this chance
and so...

we dance.
swaying, turning
spinning round.
blissfully and beautifully
our feet leave the ground.
hearts conjoined
through this melody
creating together
pefect harmony.
our dreams dance beside us
and all our memories
the light in our faces
reflect the symphony.

but all of a sudden
the music fades
something cut the sheet music
with a poisonous blade
you are taken
from our waltzing ballet
and my beautiful sky
begins to turn gray.
where are you now?
what about our dance?
i'm left here on the dance floor
forever changed by our romance
but the absence of the music
leaves me broken
so many things have been left unspoken
i feel like i was dreaming
and now i have woken
into a nightmare
because now i'm without you.
