Analysis of Ballerina in a music box



~ Darling, are you a dream?
     This feeling is too good to be real
The last person I loved wasn't too kind
     I was in a prison waiting for my time to die
I thought I was in heaven like this until she was gone
     And that's when I realized how hellish my life were

I felt like a ballerina in a music box,
dancing and dancing
I danced gloriously yet in a cage
     Thought I loved to dance till the cage was shattered
I was discarded and left alone, a garbage among the rest
     She threw me out while I was giving it my best
I've never faltered while I was dancing then
     Yet I was no use for her in the end
And yet I feel no grief because now I am free
     I wasn't a figure and actually am a human being
I dance in no box and only on a stage
     And you darling, you're the one I Will dance with
You won't imprison me because you like to dance too
     Let's show the audience our lovemaking and work

❁ I love you darling, my heart is yours
And again, I love you and my heart is yours ~

About this poem

This poem is about finding that heavenly feeling of love again after a toxic relationship which you did not notice it was toxic at all because you were blindly in love.
