Dance with Me

Dance With Me

by Ioanna Machalia

As your eyes coldly survey me, your gaze steals my breath. I suffocate in the snow storm of emotions and the loud silence draws me closer to you. Your precious smile can guide me from the labyrinth that's held me for years. Bless me with your heaven-sent smile and I promise, your eyes won’t see gray again, your dark fears will dissolve in the sunlight my own burning hands create. So now do me a favor and come dance with me. Rest in my hands and let me swing you till the notes are engraved on our brains, tattooed on our skin. Until you feel the melody’s echo flooding your empty heart. Dance until your favorite memory is buried in the nostalgic thoughts that overwhelm you. Until your favorite song becomes the one you hate. Until your laugh becomes your cry. Until your dreams become your nightmares.
