One Last Dance - Asha Ali

The night is coming to an end

Can I have one last dance?

Stand close to you and pretend

Give this rite of passage one last kiss

You smell so good

Your T-shirt is damp with sweat

Let me take you home

Let me take it off

I have nothing to hide behind

There’s no way out

No escape

From life and loss

It’s all connected and intertwined

And you are dancing

And the song is ending

And I am failing

I am drunk and lost for words

There’s nothing to stand on

I’ll go home and lick my wounds

I’ll start forgetting

I’ll start forgetting

There’s no way out

No escape

From life and loss

It’s all connected

And intertwined

I’ll just have to trust the good and accept the bad

Mourn what I once had and get out of bed
