We're dancing in circles, you and I
One too fearful, the other too shy
Silence is stifling, so we'll struggle to fill
with meaningless words echoing still
Treading cautiously, as if on ice
Biting back words for unbinding ties
Giving in, the fire is gone
Resignation, restraint and extinguished moths
Holding on, to burning straws
I'll take what we have now over nothing at all
