Dance me till the end of love, She whispered in his ear. Hold me till the end of time, Let me know no fear As the moonlight caught her hair, He turned and he replied. Pain, fear and sorrow shall be no more, For now I am by your side. If you are afraid in future, Look beside you, I will be there. If sorrow darkens your door, Don't suffer alone I too will care. Pain you will not know, As I shall be there to protect. I can't really offer you much, Only honesty love and respect. She told how she'd been down this road before, And how it caused her so much pain. That she didn't want to feel that way, Couldn't handle that again. I'll help you down this road he said, And if you fall I'll give you my hand. If you don't have the strength to get up, I'll lie down beside you till you can. What if you realize I'm not what your looking for, That I can't make your dreams come true. I've already found more than I could ever wish for, And all of it lies within you. But one thing I fear I can never give you, For which on me you cannot depend. I can't dance you till the end of love, As this love has no end.
Reason for writing:
The title for this poem was taken from a painting by Jack Vetriano which I gave to someone I care about deeply, she had been through a lot and was very afraid of being hurt again. I wrote her this poem and gave it to her with the picture to try and dispell her fears and reasure her.
