Last Dance

A skip in my step and a smile as i jump A tap on the shoulder in my throat forms a lump Grin as it does and takes as it wants Snatching and fondling in delight as it stuns Fingers of insecurity it trails across thy heart Nails of doubt dug deeper as the cracks she parts Arms that embrace and curdle your darkest fears A mouth that smirks at the taste of your tears A tongue to lick the wounds inflicted by self Eyes that watch as you become deprived of transcendent wealth snarls as it lurks,it takes to break Delights as a child with a home made chocolate cake Pleading and begging you are brought to your knees From her hardened heart you shall find no appease Coldly your kicked and tossed to the floor Broken and beaten to the depths of your core Dragging your limbs now with a limp in your walk You look up in anguish as she parts her lips to talk Hello beloved i am your long lost friend Don't you see i am setting a trend I come when your happy to steal away your smile I do it with grace,comfort and style You look at me with disgust and see me as a curse But oh my beauty its you who gives me the strength to make it all worse My name is loneliness and i come from within I am tied to you with insecurity string You can banish me from the cracks in your heart But you knew that before our long embrace you saw it from the start All you have to do is stand up and fight Lift up your head and take away my right Oh loneliness i should have known it was you As you stirred the couldren of my insecurity stew Leave me now i release you from our depleting trance To you oh happiness i dedicate my last dance
