Lover's Dance

You and I have shared a dance On the edge of romance On a cold, autumn night I felt the fire burning bright And I saw the passion in your eyes It made my heart fly away I dreamt of you sitting near Of whispered words in my ear It gave me hope for a change But as the days passed us by I found those words were only lies And you never say what you mean I have seen Love that's hard to read And I believe It's such a weary place to be And you don't understand How hard it is to reprimand A love that's meant to be I thought I saw you standing there You looked at me, but didn't care It's just a game to you Sighing by my windowside I tried so hard, but couldn't hide These tears I've cried in vain Well I'm not sure what's really true I've tried to see, but I'm confused I'm caught in the web you've weaved Your lies decide my every move Your eyes conceal the shaded truth Then I realized we both are caged You're prisoner to your own deceit You live the truth you feel to be Real in your own lonely world I think your eyes have tried to speak The words your heart feel are weak But those words would set us free I have seen Love that's hard to read And I believe It's such a weary place to be And you don't understand How hard it is to reprimand A love that's meant to be Now and then I will glance To memories of our special dance And I feel warmth in my soul Sometimes my eyes will spy That passion building in your eyes It gives me hope once again And through my heart's shallow pain I know that love will still remain It's just waiting to come alive I have seen Love that's hard to read And I believe It's such a weary place to be And you don't understand How hard it is to reprimand A love that's meant to be But you and I have shared a dance On the edge of romance On a cold, autumn night.               The End.
