Dancing With a Corpse

One summer night I went partying until late at night Seating alone away from everyone She came in the dark Sparkling white in resemblance Neatly dressed in her colourful clothes She took me by surprise when our eyes collided She was in need of a companion Then I asked her for a dance She was fragile Cold as ice in my arms I had to be brave and ask, who are you? As we moved to the beats of our hearts She cracked, split open like an egg shell Then said with a gentle voice I'm a woman who's been through a lot My life story is unremarkable and hollow Nothing seems to excite me But with you is different The size of your heart is big enough to keep me in it The gentleness of your hands Assures me that you'll never break my heart And your dance moves cast out all my doubts Not to fall in love with you From that moment I felt her warmth I could feel the corpse resurrect Her soul gaining momentum again We cuddle throughout the night Reflecting to our achievement for the night Falling in love all over again.
