the last dance

there is this dance
I've known
before.
a few times in my life.
it's a slow
dance.
one where you hardly move.
hardly
raise your arms,
or tap a shoe.
it's not the blues, or a waltz.
i've done this dance
so many times.
I know it by heart.
its a dance you can
only do alone.
it's your turn
to take the floor
and pray
that it will be last
dance like this,
that there will be
no more.
