A little girl dances
in an empty room,
eyes filled with memory
and tears half-shed.
She's not perfect,
but she's special.
A halo hangs,
slightly blistered,
against her head.
The sky weaps
because she's not happy,
but all she hears is music
beating time out like a dream.
She tries to rise above;
she sinks back down on broken wings.

painfully beautiful. It feels like a secret being told...
