A Tango Too Close - Diane Scantlebury

There is a small
Jealous pang inside my heart
Because I know
You have moved on
To dance with another
When you refused
To dance again with me
Denied me when you knew
I love to dance
But perhaps our tango
Went on too long
And you had to break free
Release me because
I got too close
And you were afraid
That I would hurt you
As others have done
