Dance

A dance of chance

Why must I wear,

My broken heart, on my sleeve

When everyone I need abandons me,

Why must I watch,

Them depart taking

A piece of my heart,

I have loved so hard,

I can barely breathe

You blew into my life,

Like a summer storm,

When I was most in need

You took me by the hand,

And let me lead,

We danced a dance

Under the stars and the moonlight,

It was a dance,

Like a game of chance

I closed my eyes,

And to my delightful surprise,

You were still by my side

And now I can breathe my dear,

I'll never have to watch you leave.
