*I'm stuck in a rut, so re-post!*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His smile...so entrancing
He sent my heart dancing
Set my life to music
And swept my feet out from under me
Twirled me around
Thought he'd never let me down
The rush was so intense
Felt myself move in every sense
Never wanted the music to stop
But every song has to end
So I hang up my dancing shoes
They look so worn and used
The blisters on my feet
Were worth it in the end
Even though I lost a friend
I gained memories that will never fade
Memories that are etched onto the dance floor
Where you and I will tango...nevermore

Sarah, your critique button isn't logged on, so I won't offer any.

I liked this poem the first time around, I'm glad you brought it back.

Music is such in integral part of society...it's hard to hang up those dancing shoes, no matter how worn they are. I like the metaphors here...you have a quiet way of getting your feelings across.
