Admit one, you must admit all

Ticket into a dancing show,
And your wore your stilletos high,
Not as much a lioness, 
But a crystal tiger with a glaring eye

Haunting, pulling.

The people laughed
And you heard not a thing.
Underneath lengths,
A hidden wasp sting. 

Your friend grabbed onto your hand saying? 

Dragging, stilling,

It is as bitter as a punch to the very core,
Yet as though coated in sugar .
Your raised palms lift to your head,
Heart clenching,

You are to the beat
And float 
Your defence dagger beneath 
our trouble; heartless hope.
A knife 
And one by one, your foot, forward, swings. 

And you said your ears opened
Heard a dragging shout beneath. 
But a whispering stranger listens
And in you stems belief. 

‘Here clenched flowers open in fall.
