The Ballerina

I do not want to dance with you if you

are watching all the other people dance.

And though I’m not a dancer, no – it’s true;

don’t think about the tightness of his pants.

 

I know you want to kiss me, close your eyes

so you can feel the lips, the hips, not see:

this body’s moves and dips are not some guy’s,

but long for you, and all belong to me.

 

Watch me as you dance, step on my toes

just so I know your dancing thoughts are mine.

The ballerina in your head that shows

you spin with me – I think it needs a wind.

 

You’re not a wind up toy but love a spin,

take me for one, I’ve won; I want to win.
