Its been a while we’ve danced this way
And in our haste to keep the pace, the time has flown so swiftly.
We have mastered our roles along the way
But distance crept in between us.
And the longer that we stay dancing with this band the more weary and frustrated we have become.
Even though this is true we stay dancing together still
Because without the learnt rhythm we would belong to no one
To start anew seems more daunting.
So we cling to each other and to the future apart at the same time.
The friction spreading pain within us.
How long can we hold on while the maelstrom of divide keeps growing?
We must separate to keep sane and whole.
Though we still hold fast to each other magnetized by years of dancing this way together.
Knowing the inevitable,
And with eyes filled with tears we wait for the unraveling to happen.
