You taught me to dance
You showed me I could sing
You gave me advice
For a mother with wings
I learned to walk on ice
And I showed you to skate
I swear your eyes were violet
Before history was erased
"You should take him ice skating" you said.
"Five year olds think thats dumb" I replied taking your hand.
"Five year olds think what there mothers think" You kissed away my tears.
"I think it's wonderful then"
"That a girl, you know your too young to be worried about this," you stated.
I took off my ice skates while muttering 'I know'
"Then let me help you"
I should have
I could blame so many things
Maybe if I danced with you longer
Maybe if we got a ride
Maybe if I walked you home
Maybe if I didn't live in the opposite direction
Maybe if my memory was useful
Maybe if I never insisted on learning to dance
Maybe if I didn't love you
Maybe if you weren't a girl
Maybe if I was a boy
Maybe if it wasn't so dark
The driver would have seen beauty in the headlights
I only just turned my back
The last pleasant image was your lips blowing a kiss
Because when I turned back around that image melted away
The driver already miles away
I heard before I saw
My ears picking up what sounded like a violent song
It tortured my eyes
Your only movement was the twitching of your thighs
It's now years later
With months to waste
I beg for amnesia to kiss my face
But I'm cursed with insomnia
Whenever I lay to sleep
I see your body buried in a heap
The memory replays
Please
Dance away
