The Ballerina

the way it made me feel
like it had a different purpose
from dust till dawn
i watched
the silhouettes in bedrooms
and the shadows in the background
the rooms so silent
the whispers of the moon
and the sweet melody
killing me slowly note by note
the elegance
the beauty
the grace.
the harmony
it bled through my soul
intoxicating me with thoughts
forced by the devil to believe
in one when really the
other took place
a simple mind trick
i now find internal meaning
the sweet sound not so harmful
but what the new cause that has me leashed
is love
as the wind blew freezing
my thoughts in perfect pitch
i now see through
you are the key that has
taken away my sleep on those restless nights
yet now to only find the missing lock

tears can shed no more
for the answers have been found
the beast inside; now resting.
cages.
and forever be stayed away with the rest.
i love you.
