Mirror Dance

Our love;
A mirror dance
I was following your lead.

Somewhere you forgot the steps
And you blamed it on me.

The music started to falter
And the magic left us,
High and dry.

Somehow you slowed down
And realised it wasn’t there,
You thought it never was.

At nights,
Late
When no one else was around,
I’d slip back into our dance studio
(The secluded part of heart/mind)
And I’d make myself remember
Before I could forget
I learnt to dance so flawlessly
Whilst you hid and watched.

The lights;
Were dimming
I chose to abandon,
It all.
You probably danced
When I wasn’t looking,
But I guess I’ll never know.

Occasionally I feel different,
I cherish you sometimes.

But lately,
You’re forgotten
It’s easier for now.

And I learnt,
To lead.
