Ending the dance

Dance with me for just one second,
just one moment of peace.
Are you listening? That’s my question,
to the music that I hear.

It’s in everything, it’s around us,
from the mermaids in the seas.
It embraces, it caresses.
There’s a song in the air we breathe.

Can’t you hear it? Someone’s singing.
A chorus of angels in wings.
They are singing, they are dancing.
A ballad inside heaven’s keep.

But when I look at your face it hits me.
Like a slap, it stings and it burns.
Your gaze is betraying your feelings.
You don’t hear anything at all.

    this kind of confused me...
    i don't know whether it was the imagery, or the random lines that rhymed
    but something threw me off.
    good ideas though.

      Thank you for your comment, although the lines, while rhyming, they are not so random, they mean something to me. But thanks anyway!
