Streetlight Ballet


I remember those nights when we used to brave the moon
Hum to each other as we danced like lovers
We felt no shame when we lied to our mothers
Surely you can recall how you made me swoon
You said you would see me soon
An hour after midnight and the clouds would hover
Not soon after and we would be holding each other
Your familiar voice, my absolute vice, my favorite tune 
We were so disillusioned and green
It’s amazing how different things turned out
Years have gone by and you don’t even know me now
A classic scenario of a tragic, romance scene
I still dream of my first love, the young man that I used to know
Who would sway with me fast and kiss me slow

You


You had to haunt me didn’t you?
You couldn’t just let me go,
You had to linger.
How dare I move on?
As guilty as I am wrong.
In my dreams you adore me, pull back my eyelids and you abhor me
You hypocritical fool
Why must you tease me,
With nostalgic memories and false realities
Yet you get to live out your happily ever after
With your plain, brunette whatever
Indifferent and sheltered
You embrace her gullible innocence
If only she knew
The cowardice serpent, that is you
Like a Pharisee you cursed me
Threw me into the streets like
You didn’t know me
You have managed to confound me
Like a revolving door,

You close me.
