and then i saw the dance



so i was struggling with this thing, and then i saw this video, so i thought what the hell, words will not be able to express as well as the video did... but no matter... here it is...


A Dance:


it wasn't a ritual dance
as spiritual as it might have felt
our hearts spilled out, spelled out the temper
our hearts took a pounding 
and yet again we remained calm

maybe we should've taken the lead, at a turn
hurled abuses, belted out our pain
i had you gathering echoes, running in the rain
and you were trembling, eschewing the aversion

bring it back, throw it my way,
there's no bridge anymore, only water…

yet we kept dancing
heaving sigh after sigh with arms raised
our hearts pounding, panting like old hounds
our hearts were out of sync,
we were finally getting loud

so we dropped our arms and raised our gaze
fists clutched shoulders tensed, holding it all in
you had me gathering remorses, and causes from within
and i was losing my grip on your empathy

bring it back, throw it my way
there's gotta be a lifeline, we can both grasp…

it wasn't a ritual dance;
maybe we shouldn't have stopped dancing…
