Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Slow Dance

We've been slow dancing all around

The loss of us now quite a while.

In opposite directions bound,

It's over for our lifestyle.

Both of us ought to be thinking

Why are we still doing this dance,

On a burning ship that is sinking?

We ought to stop and take the chance

That going separate ways might

Enable us to part as friends.

Together we're just gonna fight,

Dancing until both bitter ends.

We're going through the motions of

Our emotions, losing love.
