Dance of Death

Here she lies in the confined space, A prisoner to her dark place She wraps herself in terror And fills herself with shame As she clings on to the corner She drives herself insane. Her tattered body Is attacked by her bruised heart The day her whole world fell apart He was supposed to love her In every way, but instead he left a void And practically destroyed her mind, She wishes she could turn back time And never let that moment happen, Never let her feelings for him cloud her judgment He was nothing more that a dance of death He held her close and kissed her neck, He whispered sweet nothings in her ear But when the lights turned on he disappeared
