Last Chance To Dance
LAST CHANCE TO DANCE
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
Woke again this morning, sky dark and gray
Sun brightly shining, just another bleak day
The unending silence, fills the empty spaces
Fading images my heart, frantically chases
You have left me, yet I can’t let you go
Lonely, only vanishing memories to show
That you were part of me and I of you
Constantly beset with visions of two
Chained to the memories of a joyous past
Never considering, they would not last
Alas, gone only fleeting memories remain
Wondrous times now, inflicting pain
I need a recess from the aches of my loss
I search for solace from this ugly chaos
I hoped that time would heal my wound
Tis not the case, I’m completely untuned
I searched for someone to accompany me
To divert my attention and set me free
Of the torment of being tied to the past
Break the chains, add a new face to cast
You will always be the owner of my heart
But just to continue, I need a new start
Found someone to offer me a second chance
Band is still playing, so I’m going to dance
