Mystery Song Sonnet 1 – “Dancing Nevermore”
On tenterhooks, I lead thee to the floor to dance with me, but when the music fades
Thy eyes are like a glass, and in my core The sad farewells they send are sharp as blades.
No more shall I go dancing, for my feet are heavy with remorse, and numb with fear. No fool thou art. I tried to be discreet, but news of my betrayal found thy ear.
The fool was I, for squandering the chance to win thy hand, for being weak and blind; No longer can I bring myself to dance, For dancing brings the hurt I caused to mind.
My sins a careless whisper brought to light;
Now neither time nor words can put them right.
