Clockwork Ballerina

All eyes are focused on her
when she enters the stage
never will she age
never will her little heart stir

Her cogs and gears not all intact
the cracking noise she makes
when she gets off stage
her tutu starts to rip and fall apart

One day her leg fell to the ground
broken clockwork ballerina
a tube is her vena
all her cogs were making a sound

Alas, her expiring date was overdue
the clockwork theatre closing
the costumes decomposing
no one would ever fix a lose screw

The curtain closed, the lights dimmed
her fragile body taken apart
after all she had no heart
who want a ballerina, badly limbed

All her cogs and gears throws away
no one would have her
they do not prefer
a ballerina that won’t ever decay
