The Ballroom Dance

Smiles that are extended from across of this here
Are what leave tightening air between the two
Of you.  Smiles left wondering what to think when
they look to you and find nothing but love that is spent.


Effected outsiders are what leave the insides destroyed
The further you pull away and behind the laughter
Of the boys and the girls who spend the whole day annoyed
Inside their heads, they hold the leftovers of what they are.


Encoldened touches and dying intentions of anything asked like
Beats that are dropping out of rhythm and are just noises now
As footsteps carry you away across the ballroom floor
Crowds are what swallow them whole, nothing to anyone, anymore and somehow.


Without the hope that was once around what is there left to expect?
To live without the necessary quintessentials and absolutes,
The selfish nature of those from which our nature vicarious
Sparks have all but left us starved and babbling, incapable and uncomprehending.
