Lost in a Dance

I am lost in a dance that I’ve been forced to learn
Spinning uncontrollably, I expect to fall

Incessant music fills my brain. Distracts me
Wisps of clouds, unwelcome, settle in

I know that I am alive because I feel you,
Each day I am a heavier burden to bear

It is clear now that I will forget more than I’ll ever know

I like your last line here! Other places and posts, I liked, too. Haven't seen any prose like this for a while. It makes the flesh jump.
