One Story's Dance

The passing street signs slow as my Hopeless gazing locks to the shine Of the moon on the water And I’ve made my mind It is time for change, a brand new game, A different set of lines I am finally letting go and I’ve finally found my way Now I’m searching my last footsteps for a trace of who I am And I’m swimming through the memories to find you once again My only fear is waking up and realizing That all this has been within dreams And I wake up to a nightmare The clock ticks backwards through this line, As I drown myself in these rhymes I am not going to miss my chance - not this time ‘Cause I’m taking hold, a leap of faith, a chance to call you mine Now I’m dancing through time and space-finding who I am And I’m galloping, in every dream, searching for your hands My only fear is falling down and realizing This is not all what it seems And I’m living in a nightmare My itching ears scream to say the name It tastes of such bittersweet pain Reality and fantasy, imaginary, “wish could be”s kiss To form a world where I can live my life away from this These ropes and chains and pretty things- they hurt at given chance Broken dreams and sad things that interrupt this dance No cuts or bruises only scars that point their way to the stars To remind me of my healing heart Now I’m flying over bridges, and finding my own heart Looking over the city, the place this all had start The building heights and road sign lights, they water up my eyes My heart rests in the amber skies Now I’m looking through the photographs to remember who you are And I’m sorting through the memories remembering our parts To the happy things, eternal dreams that create this whole dance I’m not giving up my chance © Copyright Ashley Davis 2013 (One Story’s Dance)
