The Dance of Deception
by Kennedy Greenfelder

Dance dance dance 

In a circle of us and your supposed credibility 

Dance dance dance

Hands on my arm and waist I feel your stability 

One step 

“It’s ok” 

Two step

“Don’t worry”

Dance dance dance

I can feel you breathe out you won’t hurt me

Spin spin spin 

We twirl until the worlds a sparkling blurry 

Spin spin spin 

Nothing is solid not my sharp instincts not your duplicity 

Spin spin spin 

Your long fluid moves lull me into state of ease

Until you stop. So I must too. 

your eyes drew away to her and I see

Your hand drops from my arm and waist

that dance was never meant for me 

One step back

“It wasn’t a lie”

Two steps back 

“I’m sorry”

Dance dance dance

It takes two to tango but you’ve made a crowd of three

So you turn your back and cut me out

You take all your false promises and you two dance dance dance away from me
