Former Partners

​

It used to come so easy;

my fingers fixed in yours,

my breath down your neck,

our bodies gliding over each other

with ease,

never really caring

if we missed a beat.

​

Now, we finally take

to our forsaken floor,

but my movements are taut,

unassertive,

insecure,

and my mind is still locked

in our history

and pain…

​

You tell me to trust you,

that things are still the same,

and although you dance with others,

you still want to dance

with me.

​

Well, it used to come so easy -

but now, I only freeze.
