when you breathed a sigh of reminder
that last time, tell me
did you find her
somewhere tucked beneath your overcoat
and the excuses you should have kept to
yourself.
it's been so long since we've felt like
dancing or since i've needed anyones help
getting back up on my own two feet.
isn't it sweet,
the way we trade hands just when someone
is looking over our shoulders.
hold your head up they said, it can only get
better or more dirty depending on the way
you look at it
at me
at them
at yourself.
