Page 1 of Dare to Dance
Prologue
RUBY LEWIS
You’d filled that hole inside my life
With things I thought I needed.
As fast as you had hooked me
Was as fast as you retreated.
Did love become a transient thing
To transfer at your will?
All you took from me that day;
It leaves me empty still.
You were the sun that ruled my sky,
Now no more exists.
You plunged me into darkness
With my hatred and my fists.
Perhaps it would’ve helped
If you’d not left me broken-hearted.
I’d kill for the half dignity I had
When this all started.
But that was then, and this is now.
I’m fighting to stay whole.
I’ll forget the way I loved you
And that part of me you stole.
Your face still haunts my memory
So I let it settle there,
‘cause it serves to stoke my anger
And reminds me not to care.
So pull your chair up ringside
And you’ll see a thing or two.
The dancing that I’m doing,
Yeah, it’s now because of you.
