Lonely Man's Tango

In a dimly lit room, he dances alone
With nothing but memories to call his own

The music plays on, his heart's endless song

As he tangoes with loneliness all night long

His steps are precise, his movements so slow

The pain in his heart begins to flow

He spins and he twirls, in a graceful display

But the emptiness inside never goes away

The rhythm of the tango is all he has left

In this lonely dance, he feels so bereft

He reaches out, but there's no one to hold

No partner to dance with, no one to enfold

He remembers the past, when he had it all

But now, he's left alone to face the night's call

The music fades away, as the dawn starts to break

The lonely man's tango comes to an end, for heaven's sake

He moves towards the window, with a heavy heart

Hoping that someone will come and never depart

But as the sun rises, he realizes the truth

That he must continue dancing, alone, in his lonely booth.
