Burlesque Queen

She’s the burlesque queen
hiding behind a mark so fitting
her silent tears goes unseen.

She dances with man
and man dance back
her latest was Dan.

He was troubled
he got pushed and
took it by the double.

She was a quiet soul
no one cared enough for her
to take her heart as a whole.

It was always bit by bit
and never enough to make her
smile; she took a blow and a hit.

She was just a burlesque queen
no one cared enough to make
her smile, her tears always unseen.
