another

spin

skirts

flaring

from tight

waists outwards

over the

wooden ballroom

floor

he's there

again

but his face is

dark this time

sad

drawn

and his gaze holds

sorrow

when he meets your

eyes

as if you took away

the one thing

that made him happy

but that's

impossible

because he didn't

love you

that much

did he?

you couldn't have

hurt him

that much

could you?

but maybe you

did

after all

you're not dancing

with him

this time

the sashes

on the windows

haven't been

opened

in a long time

now

and that's for the

best

you tell yourself

even if it hurts

a little bit

like a piece of pain

poking you in the

heart

because you knew

that you belonged

with him

but it's over

now

so you break the

stare

and as you turn

around

one more time

to the fast

music

that doesn't match

the melancholy of

your existence

you watch him

walk

away
