You used to watch me dance,
Now every time I hear those songs.
I think of how you made me feel,
Like we were the only people in the world.
You would smile,
Telling me how beautifully I danced.
I would watch as you sing,
As I moved to your voice.
You pulled me close,
Kissing me softly and I smiled.
You caressed my cheek,
"Beautiful boy" you whispered.
I believed you,
I thought I was a beautiful boy.
That slowly changed,
As you stopped telling me.
You would hold me when I was sad,
but I never knew the things you said.
You told me the amount of love never changes,
Then turned your back when I needed you.
The amount of love never changes,
You smile so gently.
The amount of love never changes,
As you called me her name instead of mine.
Beautiful boy, chin up,
You used to say.
Then turn away,
when my chin was down.
"It's okay you've been through a lot,"
You then would tell your friends I'm a burden.
I danced for you,
You stopped watching.
You stopped singing,
I stopped moving to your voice.
You stopped pulling me close,
So I stopped smiling.
I cry your name at night,
Just hoping you would be there.
You aren't,
You lay with her freely saying her name.
Your dancing burden is gone,
You no longer see me when my chin is up.
I'm a beautiful boy,
With those who watch me dance.
The amount of love never changes,
You told me.
Is that true,
Do you still love me?
The amount of love never changes,
You lied.
You know that,
Right?
The amount of love never changes,
You kissed me.
I taste bitterness,
Do you?
The amount of love never changes,
You smirked.
Is that true,
Each time you called me a burden?
The amount of love never changes,
But it does.
Love,
Your dancing burden.
