Walk slowly across the dance floor
Feeling the rhythm of music pulsing
Alone
Dancing to the sound of music
Adrenaline driven
Until exhaustion
Peering at those around
Those who have a partner
Slowly dragging lead legs in circles
To show the courage of not being afraid
Watching the soldier kiss his girl
Watch the performers captivate their audience
Watching the gowns sway
Watching as the lights dim
And the music halts
I dance alone
To the sound of music
Playing in my head
