Dancing Barefoot
To the Silence Lingering in the Humid Air
Summer wine wafting down the lane
As twilight twists the night toward dawn
My fractured heart forgot to mend
Underneath the midnight moon
~~~
Dancing barefoot on the ballroom floor
To the silence lingering in the humid air
Once upon a fairytale
I dreamt of your hand in mine
~~~
Tattered dress sways in the darkness
Ribbons and bows threadbare and worn
A thousand nights have passed us by
But memories forgot to fade
~~~
The music played hauntingly
Whilst I waited for you, my love
Who wandered beyond the veil
Dark magic seeped within your veins
~~~
I push away the ash and soot
Your laughter echoes in my mind
Shadows of the man you were
Frozen moments, better left forgotten
~~~
One last glance at the ruins
Childish dreams stolen by a potion
The forgotten curse upon your lips
Until everything you were, was no more
~~~
No fairytale, princess ending
No diamond tiara or golden wedding bands
No royal court to curtsey to
But a new spark blooms
As the summer wine wafts down the lane
