two left feet

vayne altapascine

can we try again?
i have two left feet
and the music is still playing.
it's still three-four, one-two in the morning.
my darling, i'm here still,
our legs crossed over.
we trip on each other and fall
into fits of tired laughter.

can we try again?
the ballroom is open.
i want to waltz this time.
it was beautiful to hold you so close
but have it break from a misstep last time.
there's a shunt in my veins
and i leak apologies.
i can't help my two left feet.
please let me have this.

can we try again?
the windows are cold
and the floor is empty.
the party is over but
our song is still playing.
you're so far, sitting by the empty table
in that moonlit dress of yours.
can you look my way just once
just once again? yes, here,
with my two left feet.
and let me dance with you
once more?
