Dance Of The Fools
Send this day away
I am ready for night
there is no peace to be found here
you have the same look in your eyes
we can both keep drinking
and deny what has brought us both here
this song is breaking my heart
why would they play this song?
you sense the tearing at my soul
holding out your hand
offering me a dance
without words exchanged
my heart is not dancing with you
allowing me this indulgence
your heart doesn't dance with mine
this loneliness could unhinge us
something better was meant
for these two hearts
we shared the fortunes
that reside in our chests
with smaller minds who spent it all
and so little remains from their theft
even if we combined
what we have left between us
it would never be enough to purchase
a new beginning for ourselves
My hand on your back
as we begin to dance
your hand caressing my shoulder
we are strong
we are broken
Your eyes meet mine
looking down with an embarrassed grin
still a teenage girl at heart
Can you show me where you go
I want to live
but not like this
beautiful vases
broken and glued back in place
The song is ending
standing
waiting for the next
taking too long
and I want to run
struggling to catch my breath
pressing your head into my neck
feelings I wished to never have again
You are living
you are breathing
your heart is just like mine
lost my strength to hope
kissing your forehead
telling you I'll be right back
I step outside
and never return
