Noreen Carden - Word dance

In the deepest part of my soul
I felt the blow of your words.
Helpless I allow a crusty seal
cover my pain.
Closing my heart away. I draw a veil
over our past.
My stubborn heart grasping for love.
as I parade my classy bones.
Hitting rock bottom,
I become like a flapper.
The pressure of the dance
catches me unawares
like a wire in my blood.
eye sockets red raw
from tears.
Fortune finds me,
twice as lost and even more alone
