Dancing in circles

Due to the Queensland floods, I will be very busy at work for quite some time. So this blog doesn't go completely to pot, I'm scheduling some of my old (very old, in this case) poems to keep things ticking over. If you leave a comment, I may not get back to you for some time.

This was apparently written as lyrics to a song, hence the rather strange rhythm and endless repetition. Other than a vague snatch of Celtic-ish melody for the 'dancing in circles at the end of the day' line, I cannot remember at all how it's supposed to go.

I miss you

I need you

You're breaking my heart

It's been so many years since I've seen you

Do you ever

remember

before you went away

We were dancing in circles

at the end of the day.

Five years now

and counting

and dreading the same

and imagining you'll be returning

I wait like a puppy for your step on the stair

We'll be dancing in circles

at the end of the day.

I need you

I miss you

You've broken my heart.

I know that you'll not be returning.

I'll be waiting forever for you to come home

No more dancing in circles

at the end of the day.
