little balerina
glides gracefully with ease
the soles of her feet bleed
but her smile aimed to please
little balerina
each twirl immortalized her
prancing around me like magic
everything she does is a blur
little balerina
i can see her smile wavering
as she dances with such splendour
around a truth she's been denying
little ballerina
such a beautiful form of art
but it's time she accepted now
an end that broke her heart
