Let me dance on strings for thee.

by 1victorlouis

I tread softly on the strings of insanity

And as I do, they do play a lovely tune.

A chord that’s soft, and sweet to hear

I try my best to be gentle; trust me here.

 

Sometimes I can dance, or even prance

And the melody is free. And the glee

That greets the faces of all those that care to be

Near to me shows zeal! But then I fail –

 

And I fall –

And it screeches to a halt.

 

It reaches my song, and the strings are strained!

What breeches the ears brings real pain

And I fear that I cannot muffle the disdain

That you might have for me. But I ask of thee,

Please let me play again.

 

Will you let me play again?
