Love is a Dance

Dragonfly Waltz

You dance through me

Wisps of smoke and fractured light

You bruise my memories

A floating embrace

And hands held too tight

Why are our steps so out of time?

I thought I saw you from the corner of my eye

When did our heartbeats lose their rhyme?

I’m lost on the trail you’ve left behind

You come so close

My scarred fingertips brush your breath

This is the song we chose

Every note you sing I breathe

But it feels like death

I open my heart clenched fists

To pull you close and let you go

My love drunk tears settle on the mist

For I still hold your wings

I wonder if you even know

Why are our steps so out of time?

I thought I saw you from the corner of my eye

When did our heartbeats lose their rhyme?

I’m lost on the trail you’ve left behind
