The Dance Has Stopped

The dance has stopped 
By Michelle Morris

I used to love dancing with you. 
We'd spin around together, 
And have fun 
In our pj's
In the living room...

But you're no longer here. 
My heart bleeds;
My eyes shed tears;
There's no more dancing 
In my life's sphere... 

No use pretending. 
Without you the dance 
Has been denied, 
Like my soul's life force 
Has given up and died...
