Dancing Alone In the Moonlight

She was dancing alone in the moonlight
with a pair of arms wrapped around her tight
she was dancing alone, with nothing in sight
as the pair of arms twirled her tauntingly into the night
her heart pounded while she held the arms in her own
breathing heavily as she danced away, far from home

she was dancing alone in the moon light
with a pair of arms around her neck, holding her tight
she moved slowlier than before
gripping the arms around her neck so sore
slowly swaying reluctantly, she could move no more

she was standing alone in scarce twilight
with the arms still wrapped around her tight.
she was standing beneath a cloudless sky
being drenched in torrent rain
her pulse beating fast in her veins
as she laid her head down in excuciating pain

she was lying alone in the sun light
with a pair of arms holding her tight
her neck was swollen and bruised
she was lying alone, with nothing in sight
just the rope she had used.
