She dances through my mind on a song,
Yet defined.
By words, to describe my love for her.

Let me strum another line,
Maybe a verse will come in time,
While she dances.

While she dances,
 and dances, 
to my wordless melody.

Her beauty it taunts me,
 and her smile it haunts me.

For my words could never flow,
as easily as she-
While she dances.

While she dances just for me,
it now becomes so clear to see.

I need no words, for she-
She,

Is the living lyric in this,
Lovers melody.

I regret the choices  
Made in blinding haste;  
As consequences anchor  
Onto dreams laid to waste.
Each lesson was a bitter taste,  
That I refused to learn.

Opportunities were scattered  
Like leaves from books in the wind,  
While memories taunt me still
And this heartache deep within  
Weighs as heavy as my sin,  
That is far too much to bear.

If I could rewrite time,  
I'd turn back the hands binding
Me to you and rewind.
I'd choose another path,  
One kinder, more refined.  
And trust me when I say

I'd make things right again.

so it won’t be broken

trade your soul first
so it won’t get stolen

take your life first
so it won’t get ruined
