Angel or Devil

The ballet starts…

Move- Balance
Have you wondered what perfect symmetry could be?
The collision is nothing but an illusion.

Move- Echappé
In my perfect story,
I rescued someone from a tunnel of darkness. They worship me as a hero.

But to what expanse?

Move- Changement
To be that shoulder, I had to be cold to the other.
An austere soul to witness that my trail could harm could hurt someone else.

Final Move- Coda
As true as I see my actions, they are faulty in their eyes…
I saw myself as Odette but in the mirror…I was also Odile.

This is probably stupid.
The underlying is just about the balance, if your hero in someone's life then your the villain in else. I just added a trance effect of ballet and moves to show you could be both Odette and Odile in your Swan Lake story

Not so much pas d‘une, ou pas de deux, mais tous les deux!

It’s not stupid, but thanks for the commentary Verity! Good and bad always makes for a great story... and for a wonderful ballet! It’s intrinsically so well-balanced!

Thanks, Neville! Good and Bad works. Just a vague idea of ballet infused.

It's not stupid at all. Villain to one, hero to another is quite profound. And the ballet setting is perfect.
