AFTER YOU LEFT

It's been so long since I had-
held your hand in this dance
My legs had all gone weak
the muscles I have had atrophied.
I remember that night so clear
You left me hanging down that hill
Your promise of waltz towards the peak
Was just your solo away from me.
Our prideful tango,
The way we do jive and paso.
The dances we once did,
Is now just a past in bliss
As I can no longer go back...
In the memory we once had.
After you threw 'us' away...
I tried to stand and find a way
But I can no longer repair...
What is left by the fire that day.
Now, i'm just one prideful bitch
I can no longer jive like I once did...
Cha cha? Challenges were all I have
This is what I'm now...
Since that day you left my side...
