Description
we played the gamelike a dance
across the dancefloor
it was sweet
i bit my lip
for you
to taste the bitterness in my mouth
that is how serious
of a play it was
round and round
it was a good tango
and
finished with the most violent of moves
a tear would run down
my surprised face
i was only defeated
when you made me come

It was very nicely written until the last stanza.
The first half is visual and pleasing to think about, however just that last stanza does not quite fit into the rest of the piece.
"a tear would run down
my surprised face
i was only defeated
when you made me come"
You are talking about them tangoing in the sexual sense but this stanza is too straight forward for the rest of the piece and is slightly awkward to say out loud.
Maybe try for something softer like,
"Our physical bodies were worn
from such an erotic encounter
that a single tear slid from my eye
and landed as the final chord struck"
Not as straight forward but leans more into how you had originally been writing the poem.
This is just a suggestion however.

Incredible. I love the balance of sensality and raw sexual imagery here - really captured the tango. Love it!

if u wanted to improve your poetry, i think you could work on expression ur emotions moreso and expressing them through ur metephor of the 'dance'
otherwise it's a very nice piece...
