Dancing in the Streets

Dancing in the Streets

A Poem by Riss
"

This is the song with no changes to it, I'm probably going to go back and fix it up.

"

Men breaking down by, the sight of scars on their own knees

Could care less when, we're out here dancing in the street

 

The frost from your breath,

Tastes like a promise

The songs that we sing,

They're all heartfelt but tuneless

While we're dancing in the streets,

Closing eyes to our bloody knees

 

Will you say my name in Paris?

In the puddles that my boots missed,

Sweet heart, why you crying?

You know, baby I'm trying

So'm I,

But for tonight

 

The star lights look amazing,

When I'm seeing them through your eyes

Easy to please, doesn't apply,

But for tonight,

Baby I'm trying

 

And this isn't about us,

About where we should be.

You're still clueless when,

You say no and I say please.

This isn't really about love,

But what else have we got

 

My pretty lip stain's washed away,

Tears have dried over my face,

My eyes still sting and I can't say

What you did to me today.

Because I know that you can't stand it,

I know how bad it'd hurt you,

What you did to me today.

 

The wind though all of me,

feels like freeness

Your voice against my neck

Sounds just like home

Your cry hurts like I know hell would,

Like if you'd leave me for my own

 

You hold my hands, just like they're broken,

Your ragged heart, sounds so damn lonesome

Your kiss tastes like a truce,

A promise,

While we're out here, let's be honest,

The songs we love are all, but soundless

While we're dancing in the streets

 

The conrete on my feet,

The music gone, but it was sweet,

Our breath catching,

While we're dancing,

In the streets
