Dance

Oh lover

I see the tears

In your eyes

From all of the men

Who have hurt you

You are so beautiful

They wanted to dance with you

But they didn’t see what I see

They didn’t understand

What I understand

They always wanted to lead

they wanted to hold you tight

And make you move

The way they wanted to move

They didn’t see

That you are a ballerina

And you were born to dance

That your soul was born to be free

They didn’t understand

When you are with a ballerina

You enjoy her beauty

That you are not suppose

To control a ballerina

You are suppose to enjoy her freedom

Stand in the shadow of her beauty

And be thankfull you are allowed

To be in her presence
 

Lover you are a ballerina

This is so good Hobo

Seldom do people see the tribulations of being such a gentle petite ballerina. They only see the beauty of the dance, but with fame brings a lot of heartache, pressure and loneliness too. Fabulous write Hobo. Xena Quote: Science is what you know; philosophy is what you don't know. - Bertrand Russell
