Beautiful
Strong
Fragile
Her curls bounce as she twirls
Dancing for you
Is her joy and her life
Hearing you sing
Makes her dance and rejoice
For your voice
Is music to her ears
You applaud her
Love her
And call to her
But you toy with her
And as she dances
As she believes she is your angel
She is pulled apart
Broken down and thrown
She calls to you
Crying and screaming
All she can ask is
"Why? What did I do wrong?"
She is eager
To dance for you again
To prove her perfection
Begging for another chance
She is raised again
And dances again
Once more
She wonders what went wrong
For she is naive
She is blind
She does not see
That it is your hand
Which crushes her to dust
Your fingers
That pull her apart
And your lies
That raise her again
Nor the smile on your face
The carelessness in your hands
Or the indifference in your eyes
As you watch her bleed
And leave her there
As she calls to you
Wondering why
You are not at her side
Eager to prove her perfection to you
She is trapped in your grasps
Dancing
To the sound of your lies
And how splendid she is!
For she dances always
Only for you
She is a doll
A precious thing
But you are not her creator
Another like her
You will not find
And if only she knew
That she's been perfect all along
She dances with wolves
For all she ever did
Was dance
Only for you.
