In shadows cast by moonlit dreams
A dancer sways their delicate limbs
Like a feather in the air
With a longing heart full of despairHe swirls without a partner to lean on
Without a heart to console
Without an audience to applaud
His steps and falls become too loudThe floor in red he paints
His clothes soaked in stains
His flesh full of cuts and bruises
He can't stop, even if his soul he losesFor even if the box is closed
He should be ready to see his roseFor he is not dancing for himself
Alone he is but not in a shelf
He performs to be seen
To make her face from tears to be cleanShe is not his audience
She is his confluence
She is the one that changes his life
From day to night, from dark to light
With a simple movement, a step too close
With a swift movement, his world she exposeIn perfection she always finds him
Tall, straight, cheerful and lean
Ready to dance his life away
For her eyes, on him to layHe is condemn to eternal spinning
A doll in a box, a melody singing
A ballerina standing tall
In the eyes of his lover, he can never fallFor those mere seconds are everything to him
In his essence she dives to swim
For all his heart beats for this moments
And her whispering praises and sweet commentsAll he will ever get from her are those
Small little nothings, that make him feel close
Her eyes on him, sparkling of delight
Give him reason to see again the lightFor even though he is nothing more than a doll
An insignificant wooden piece, without a soul
He is alive within her eyes
And he for her lays in liesAn eternal dancer he will be
His body prisoner but his love will have free
For her all was worth it
For he was her audience, fallen in loves pit.
