my last dance

I sit in my room crying and an angel fly’s down from heaven

He looks at me and asks

My child why the tears

I look at him and say

Angel, there is a dance tonight

I give anything to have the bravery to go

And the angel answered

My child I will give you that but be warned at midnight

Your heart will fail and you will die

I look at him and say thank you

The angel nods and disappears

I walk into the ballroom and I just stand there

I look around and see the mask

I see the red walls

And mostly I see the girl I love

I walk up to her and ask for this dance

Oh by god the dance is wonderful

I look at the clock and its 15 till midnight

I decided if I going to make my move

Now is the time

I lean in and whisper in her ear

I love you Jane

I have I always will

She looks at me and smiles

I love you too James

I look at the clock again and it’s one till and kisses her quickly

I say never forget my love ok

She looks at me in confusion and it strikes 12

The bells go off once

They go off again

And then they strike a third time

My heart beats the last time

And I crash to the floor

Because alas this is my final dance
