The Dance

as nighttide settles like calm seas her backdrop becomes your stage old thoughts sneak like shadows against mind's walls i spin beneath demonic haunts as your words fall rage-red winded fury on burial grounds already full of little deaths i gasp through short breaths and utter your name as etched on each stone soaked with morning i rise and remember this dance

Such a battle of memorable emotions & vulnerabilities. It's almost as if the "dance" is a vicious circle recreating that false sense of security. I'm hoping I'm kind of on track with this. Excellent job!
