Reminiscence

Once upon a time undefined by algorithm In your arms you had me As we slow dance to mild blues Our hand and legs in a lover's tango Like a puppet,you spun me to the rhythm The walls echo my laughter and glee So carefree, a heart that never felt a bruise Once upon a memory forgotten long ago Your tight grasp slipped away It hurts to remember The tempo increasing How you caught on but I was stuck know your place! you said,make it work! they said but u were faraway I helplessly watched our fire burn out to a dull ember Your whispered promises of a life of love unceasing Were forgotten or did I run out of luck? Once upon a time I blamed me It was a race and I couldn't keep up Sunbeam cast it's glow of a new beginning I was more than enough,too much for a coward If two do not work together,how do they agree? I rock to the morning beat with a sherry in my cup I am lucky, I am free, I am winning One step at a time,never again will I look backward.
