Memory – A Dance of Sorrow

I dance with your memory
Every step an echo of the past
Each swing and twirl a lament
Every movement our last


I dance with your phantom
In the vastness of an empty space
The music, a song for a lost time
When I worshipped your grace


When memory reaches out my hand
Like a ghost you slip away
But your laughter hangs in the air
As I remember many a happy day


You are a spector in my memory
So, with every spin I touch only air
And my heart cries out in pain
As I long for you to be there


But the dance goes on and on
In an empty ballroom full of tears
I waltz with your ghost
And I am lost in my tears.
