WHITE BALLERINA SHOES

Candice James

Copyright 2009

White ballerina shoes dance for me

The fancy way I never could dance.

Black veil of illusion,

Curtains of life falling,

Shawling over my eyelids,

Disguise these things

Too painful for my eyes to behold.

White ballerina shoes dance,

That you may never gather dust as I do.

Dance, White ballerina shoes dance.

Dance once more for me

Before the curtain falls.
