The music played slowly
A rhapsodic melody
It intertwined anger and fear
Weaved it with love and sadness
It played from the heart
It clutched at our souls
Slowly we moved together
Swaying in a lazy circle
Our feet made the pattern
Our bodies followed the course
We weren’t dressed to the nines
Work clothes sufficed
We had no ballroom glitz
Just a kitchen full of memories
Our island of isolation
Our peace from the world
She put her arms around my neck
I clasped mine around her back
She gazed up at me
Her eyes so expressive
So bright in the night
Tears streamed down her face
Her hair was a mess
My angel
My discordant Persephone
The lyrics hit home
A broken couple
A broken song
One last revelry
One last dance
