Best Poems Written by Alexandra Devereaux

The Final Performance

She had nothing to gain
This is my only shot
Dance through the pain

It wasn’t my fault she didn’t have a main
Role. She wanted to see me distraught
She had nothing to gain

I can see her trying to feign
Support by smiling and whatnot
Dance through the pain

She waited to complain
Until I was in earshot
She had nothing to gain

The tears began to flow down my face like rain
Her words intruding my every thought
Dance through the pain

She’s jealous, get it out of your brain
They told me, but I cannot
She had nothing to gain
Dance through the pain
