I Know This Dance Was Not Meant To End This Way

Two lovers deciding who should bow and bend on an empty floor

This is not the way I dreamed it should be

It is not the love I died for a thousand times in a memory

I will not accept this permanence or the silence and subterfuge

A vision still flickers within my mind of what is to come

My journey is not over and my path still lies ahead

Upward and beyond to greater things

Alone for now

But not for long.
