I Never Danced
I never danced not a stride
hard as I tried
the rhythm and the songs
pushed two left feet along
ever turning to the right
but I watched you in the midnight light.
A spin, a twirl
along the wood dance floor
while others watched
I eyed the clock
your shoes never touching down
and my efforts more like a clown.
The music played a quickstep, waltz, and foxtrot
but the rhythm escapes me the dancer forever not
so I sit, a wallflower, waiting sad face
observing the melodic rhythm flow to your taste
but when the night is over and done
it's me and you alone the lover won.
