Dance

In the darkest corner
Of the seediest pit
In the deepest  underground,
He takes me against him;
His flamed hands
Searing my flesh.
In my life I have sinned
And tonight,
I will attone for them
To the sultry salsa beat.
Pinned against him
He makes me relive
Every horror,
Evvery regret,
Every mistake.
The pain intensifies
At every crescendo.
Every staccato
Pierces my heart.
The closeness is
Overwhelming
But I cannot look at him,
For I know that my death
Is etched in his eyes.
The music climaxes
As we twirl in a tight circle,
Hard to believe
We are not alone.
In my life I have sinned
And for them I will attone
For I'm dancing with the devil
Tonight
