I dance,
to the sweetness of my agony.
With each footfall of a tear,
I swoon.
My wide eyes, so blissful,
so blue,
yet leaving me empty hearted.
I sing,
along to the song of pain.
Awaiting the arrival of hope,
I cherish,
the moments that never last.
And at times I think I cant,
I am,
myself,
and it makes me dance.

Very cool how you described things in detail without really just coming out and saying what you meant, until the end of course. I love all of it, but the last three lines tie it all together and that's why they're my favorite part.
