It Takes Two

If it takes two to tango,
tell me how you can dance
by yourself,
I'm leaving you on the dance-floor
mainly because you have two left feet

If it takes two to make you happy,
then I'll be here for you,
but if you want to make fun of my weight
then I'm leaving,
and never looking back again

If it takes two to make me smile,
and to actually laugh again
then I did the right thing
by leaving you and your horrible rhythm...

Because right now...
it only takes me!

This poem was very interesting. I wasn't sure about it after the first read, but on the second, I found the rhythem, and after the third time, I was really felt what you were saying.
I really liked the beginning; comparing a dying relationship with a bad dance partner, and your ending was dynamic.
Write on! I am looking forward to reading more of your work!

A lovely inspirational poem ! The only line I'm not entirely sure about is "but if you want to make fun of my weight then I'm leaving" it just took me aback when I was reading; it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the poem which uses metaphor delicately and effectively
But just my thoughts, feel free to ignore.
A very good write :)
