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

A Tiptoed Waltz
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.
