Burning passion, gentle movements, and unwavering precision Are only three sets of words that describe her She moved en pointe with her ink-dipped shoes and wrote herself down on the pages of my existence Delicate cursive appeared across the blank, unlined leaves Creating soothing poetry amidst all the chaotic rants in the pages before I watched as each step, throw, and turn add new words to the narrative The spotlight followed her every movement as she floated across the stage Jotting down line after line of her calming words
The lights faded after she ended the fourth stanza And she was greeted with thunderous applause by the voices in my head I could see her silhouette dance slowly on the unlit stage She spun for what seemed like hours before the lights came back on
There she stood
The once pure and clean ballerina in white was drenched in blood and ink She moved aggressively and without remorse painting rough lines on the soft syllables she'd written for me Her eyes glowed with unholy strength as she knelt upon my pages And ripped them from one corner to the other, tearing the book's spine All I could do was stare at her as she smiled at her work And silently exit stage left
