Dancing in the shadows
stomping her feet to be heard
twisting in the wind
and burying the past.
Leaving behind the negative
and looking forward to
the things that are positive.
Dancing with the shadows
letting her hair flow
down her back and
getting lost in the darkness
that is surrounding them.
Dancing toward the shadows
giving away her heart
and losing her soul
to the one who
stands beside her.
Dancing for the shadows
allowing them to have her
whispering in the ear
of the one she has
lost herself for and
wondering what she'll do
when the morning comes.
Dancing away from the shadows
hoping for a new beginning
praying it will come.
Quickly wondering how to
regain the light within
her life and experience
things as they are
meant to be experienced.
Dancing just to be dancing
expecting nothing in return
getting less than she
has ever really given.
Experiencing what it is
like to be truly alone.
