Fragile Dance For Two

Inviting you into my heart was both a blessing and a curse did you not think ?
to tell me in less reckless ways you lost yourself in this fragile dance for two 

Inside this tango of passion you dipped then dropped, where was the floor ?
that swallowed me like a Spanish dancer with a Rose between her lips 

Idealistic player that you are we fitted right, so what  sin did I commit?  
Truth be told the only one that I could think of was loving you too much 

Ignoring all your calls I tried to make a life without you in it but why oh why ?
tackling all my dance moves you got me like a Flemish wounded poppet

Indian giver that you are you loved then passed it on, so why was she ?
tangerine lipped & coiffed congealed to your chest like a Minerva Goddess 
 
Ice cream words melted from the heat, castanets clapped & where were you ?
tendencies often nothing more than Paso Doble moves for you, so you slid 

Inside your wealth like a hoof.  A Hexabranchus man, did you not miss?
the little doll you toyed with in Valencia while the festival of fire was going on !
