Title: The Dance We Do

I enter the room

He looks up at me

The sparkle in his eyes

Captivates me.

They speak to me

They tell me that the man

Behind those eyes

Really does love me

He rises from his desk

And begins walking towards me.

My heart beats faster

And faster

I can feel it

This is it

Or so I think

The room disappears

It's just me and him.

All alone

On this dance floor

That some call life.

The closer he gets,

The faster the music

I just know that this is it

This is the moment

I've been waiting for

He's going to tell me

How much he loves me

And cares about me

And how he is sorry

For all the pain he's put me through

His lips part

And he begins to speak

And the melody reaches

The climax

But his words are not

The three that I've

Been longing to hear

The music stops,

Just as it always does.

My heart sinks,

And the pain fills me

I feel empty,

Weak

Alone

But these feelings,

I am used to them

This is not the first time

The music has not been

Long enough for him

To get all his feelings out

See, this is the dance we do

And sometimes,

We get so caught up in it,

That we forget reality.

But before he can get

Those three words out,

The music stops.

But this is simply just

The dance we do.
