Why were her eyes lifeless?

She was a dancer

A slave to the music

Where were her once graceful facade?

Her hair tangling with the wind

Her eyes were crystals, her pure colors shining under the spotlight

Where is she?

Is she that same girl?

Everyone wonders

And so did she

"Ah.. and so I perish." She whispered.

Head spinning, she fumbled with her fingers, pursed her lips, and tried to stop her cries

Her head felt heavy to try and look at the stage lights above her

Her shoulders weighed the notes instead to sway with it

Her legs felt sore from running away to do the waltz

What would she do?

She needed a new rhythm

A getaway to dance to

But she was caged by the people watching her on stage

Blinded, she didn't know where to go

She just wanted the lights to break or burn her on stage

How could she dance when she's tired?

Please give her a rest

Mentally, she meant.

A dancer cannot dance
Without a peace of mind
And an open field.
