The Love Dance

The Love Dance

by Lori Ann Gonzales

He knows not what to think or say

Scorned with fear and shallow breaths 

He states he is moving on and away 

To find another to fill his depths

She suffers from fear she has failed

Her heart swollen with anger and pain 

To find his betrayal leaving her derailed

Believing in his lies for his gain

How is this man to be trusted

She sits in tears, hallowed with love

Feeling broken, torn, and busted 

Until she feels the warmth from the sky above

The man returns and cries for her gentle touch

As she flies high above with a dove

He fills with regret, sorrow, and pain and such

Begging for forgiveness, eyes filled with love

She stops and returns to hear him say

Words he should have told her before his shame

He opens his arms to give her the way

To lead him back and restore his claim

He wraps his arms around her tightly

Knowing he must never let go

For she may turn ever so slightly 

Gone again without him to know
