To be:

The dancers spin in hapless turns

movement longing for their song to start again

Spinning, dancing the red shoes fly

over and over again

Watching and waiting

longing and itching to grow

to fit in

to belong to the tune of time yet again

to be like everybody else

The steps grow in number

the motions more vulgar

Innocence song has gone

twisting and turning

movements slide

smiles suggestive

thoughts and feelings mix

emotions tangle with need

Brush up against

feel the heat longing from within

breathing harsh, full from the reckless dance

tones growing

steps heated

as the tune grows to an end

Motion stops

emotion full eyes gleaming out from hooded lids

wanting longing pleading hidden

Bow away waiting for the next pace

new steps start again

and awaiting for the lovers song again

Swinging in hapless turns

Watch the dancers turn in the mirror

The masks glimmering

the façade blending and bleeding

becoming a part of the dance

turn after turn becoming a mockery of once was

the glass breaks

and the innocence fades

with the nights song
