\n<\/span>And spun around in circles as it goes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Now left to their own devices,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Like a woman discarded by a lover,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Lost in the never-ending twirling of emotions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Dancing together in the breeze,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Dead and gone, but still in motion,<\/span>
\n<\/span>Left to this last performance till fading away.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>And wonders if one day she will be<\/span>
\n<\/span>A hydrangea tumbleweed,<\/span>
