Swirling, Whirling, Twirling
Our bodies intertwined
My breath with the lack of his
My heart pounds
But nothing resonates from within him
My sweating palms locked within his clammy hands
I rest my head upon his stone-like shoulder
But I don’t dare look him in the eye
As I dance with my Demon tonight

Oh, Those eyes!
I can feel them
Boring into my skin
Cold and lifeless
I don’t need to see them
To know the shining black orbs
Whose gaze never move from my pulsing form
I don’t dare look him in the eye
As I dance with my Demon tonight

I take the lead
Starting a series of intricate moves
Faster and faster, I don’t think I’ll last much longer
But he falters…and trips
He tripped
Gaining confidence I take hold of his hand
I pull him up
I look him in the eye
As I dance with my Demon tonight

He begins to shrink
Becoming smaller and smaller
He’s nothing now
My fears are alleviated
I no longer have need to worry
I looked my fears in the eye
And now they’re vanquished
And nothing but dust
As I dance with my fears tonight
