Black Swan
she makes for a better black swan
she won't be so obsessive
you probably can't even hurt her
the perfect dancer
I was not one to seduce
a delicate white swan
lighter than her own feathers
choreography of polished moves
dedicated to her prince
a failure of a lover
I'd be a better mother
but I kept spinning
hoping you'll keep staring
see me forevermore
eyes piercing into me—
your eyes
her eyes
as she twirls on a stage I once was the star of
you smile at me
gesturing towards your achievement
proud of the trophy you plan on breaking
