Skeletons Dancing

Look at me now,

I prance across the pain.

When your eyes avoid mine,

I sway a different way.

When I see you

And you see me

In a light

That does not compliment or cover,

It is then we see

We are only

Skeletons

Dancing.

It is clear we are only,

The remains of a

Once strong tower.

The steel structure

That balances on its debris.

When I touch you

And you touch me

With only our raw selves

It is then we see

We are only

Skeletons

Dancing.

Gaze at us now,

As we trot upon open wounds.

When your mouth lips the words we

Dare not say,

Our feet shuffle to find the ground.

When I hear you,

And you hear me

In an uneasy silence.

It is then we see

We are only

Skeletons

Dancing.

I am sure now,

That we are the puppet

With broken

Strings.

Flailing like the broken

Winged bird

that use to fly.

When I feel you,

And you feel me

With no intentions or promises,

It is then we see

We are only

Skeletons

Dancing.

Behold this now,

I will break

Our synchronization.

When you are too afraid

I will halt this steady motion.

Allowing you,

And allowing me

Not without pain,

To see

We are only

Skeletons,

Dancing.
