The Lonely Ballerina

by Raven   May 29, 2009


You left me that horrific day,
left me standing there crying my tears.
You were gone and I had no words left to say,
because all that I felt that day was fear.

The loneliness had an affect on me,
from that day on, I was not the same.
All of my friends could see,
that I had felt all the blame.

It took my many months to heal,
the time which I had spent,
truly, in the end didn't feel real.
For us to be together was never meant.

We've talked since that fateful day,
but the feelings aren't there.
Still I have nothing to say,
because it would be too hard to bear.

I've found myself wondering in the woods,
and now my days have meaning.
Dancing makes me feel good,
when I twirl, my eyes begin gleaming.

Dancing requires a pair,
gliding and twirling together forevermore,
Until that fateful day comes,
I'll remain as the lonely ballerina.

    I feel like a lot of what I said in my last comments apply here - there needs to be more depth, and strength here, I believe. And again, I thought the rhythm was awkward. Honestly, I did find it difficult to concentrate reading this (I know this all sounds harsh, and for that I apologise, but it's not going to mkae you better if I feed your ego, and I assume you want to be better. Who doesn't?).
