A waltz that begins to-and-fro
It moves from step with a graceful flow
The waltz we see seems so sweet
But we don't see them yearn to fleet
Fleet from this love that is so very faux
The love that's shown seems to grow and grow
Till the growing can no longer go
With warm and kind hands they greet
A tiptoed waltz
A love that one must continue to row
The love that truly emanates a glow
To see this love seems as if a treat
It seems so true and seems so neat
But no one could tell that this love was only a show
A tiptoed waltz

This poem is a rondeau format wise, but the story speaks on domestic violence in relationships. The "tiptoed waltz" resembles a love that is tiptoed so you don't get abused. It speaks of how it seems so sweet, but it's all an act.
