I used to dance....
I used to dance
My body rise and fall to the beats
My heart in tune with the seasons
My soul filled with trust
My head in a cloud of romance
I was alone but hopeful
Then a suitor came
He danced with me
He bade me to trust
He put words to my music
He pulled the romance from my clouds
We became one and we danced together
Time became heavy
Days became years
Romance turned into obligation
Trust eroded
Hope transferred to smaller goals
I danced but my arms were tied
My legs laced to objects and expectations
I was surrounded and bound
I fell
I couldn’t get up
I could hear the music in my heart
But I couldn’t move to the beat
I was broken
My trust was broken
My romance dusty and spoiled
Hope and trust were gone
My suitor gone to dance with another
I was alone but hopeful
I used to dance
My music would lighten my heart
I can’t hear it now.
It doesn’t speak to me anymore
I have no hope
No romance
No trust
I hate that he killed my music
I hate that he chained my limbs
I hate that he ruined my trust
I hate that I can say these things
I miss my hope of romance
And trust
Music
Dance
I miss who I was
I want to come back
I want to dance again
I want the blush of hope
I want the truth of trust
I want a heart to share
I want my heart unbroken
I don’t want him
I want me
I used to dance
