Must We Dance

Why do we do this dance we do
You hurt me and I hurt you
Yet neither of us will let go 
What are we holding on to 
A love so strong that the pain is so deep 
A pain that rocks your soul beyond belief 
How did our love turn into a weapon 
A weapon used to hold each other hostage 
Both of us so consumed by our anger, fears, and pride unable to learn our lesson 
When did our daily attempts to prove our love become low blows and destructive desperate attempts to share the hurt 
Love sick turned to grief stricken 
Will we ever be able to sweep away all the dirt 
Will forgiveness be enough to clear the slate 
Have we gone to far 
Is it to late
