Am I relevant enough to scribble my name
on the dance card of your heart?
Your passive loyalty and interest make you to be a *******
but I've always much preferred the constancy of choreography
and heat on the Fourth of July.
So please tell me why:
Why must I always play the follow
to your non-remorseful lead?
My shiniest records were always for you
as were my collective Saturday nights,
the hours spent practicing and sweating
preparing, only to be worthy.
I should know better
seeing as this is the 14th time
you've broken the gramophone.
Perhaps it's time for a new waltz.
