Dance, Dance

   Once upon a time there was a girl who grew up with being told she was worthless.
                      She believed them.
   She had dreams she never believed in. Hopes she thought were hopeless and love that even if she was brave enough to share, always ended in heartbreak.
   She met a boy, and he was wonderful. But she knew she'd never be worthy of his affection. They went their separate ways.
   Him with his arms around another...
   She never stopped thinking about him...
   She fell in "love" with a phantom. Who bled her dry and disappeared.
                      She was worthless.
   Next came the hunter looking for a pet. With treats and coaxing she was locked away. He was so sweet sometimes but so vicious.
          She was scared.
                       She was trapped.
   Just as quickly as he disappeared the boy reappeared. Except now he had become a man.
   She began to get to know him. Really know him.
                       Silently she worshiped him.
   She watched him from behind her glass wall not knowing he was watching her from behind his own.
   She wanted to be closer to him. To touch his face. She wanted to bask in the sunlight of his smile, if only for a moment.
                      She wanted to be his.
                                            But she didn't deserve it.
   She joked of living together wishing they could, knowing they couldn't.
                      One day he said yes.
   He broke his glass wall and she was afraid.
   Until one day when she fogged up the glass

                                                                  he drew a heart on it.

And it shattered...

   Against all expectations I am in your arms. I'm not scared anymore.

I'm worthy.
