time to bow out w. grace

Its time the curtain close

and the lights go off

its something every dancer knows

and so i scoff

as the last flickering ballerina

prances across the stage

the twinkle of her toes

the strain with age

the sadness in the final note

all that she holds dear fades too

this was not the piece that ought to be played

the curtain drops she becomes unglued

how she wishes he would have stayed

to see her dance and give her all

instead he left as he had done so many times b4

and thus he made her bawl

he didnt know what his future had in store

the sad part is this was her final bow

this was their final fight

he did not know he blew it he acted foul

and so she said goodbye and goodnight

to her two loves the stage and the man

it was time to bow out w. grace

the final dance he would never understand
