The lights turned into moonlight
the rhythm started it’s recite
As she attracted the spotlight
She felt a force around her
Like she’s sinking deep into the sea
Swirling down in wild
Wonderfully twirling
In the pool of destiny
Twisting her in a glorious form
Her feet dance like they’re floating on air
She twirled
like a fragile snowflake in the sky
She saw her mother
gleaming as bright as the night stars
A smile like no other; then she saw them
They who see a prefect girl who dances, clothed in lace
Their eyes which dont think and their minds which don't see
For underneath those slippers like glass
Are bruises and scars that turned her skin hard like brass
As she landed as graceful as ever in her his arms
Her white gown now red
She sighed in satisfaction, the pain subsided by his charms
In his arms she fell asleep
For after winter comes summer
When all snow melts
They say it was her choice
that she welcomed death
thought little do they know
The winter ballerina was killed
By none other than perfection
She didn’t welcome death rather she volunteered
