Stage Player

Off in the corner of my stage, sits a rusted
cage. Rotting away my hopes and dreams, 
there left to face as I grow old with age.
Forgetting to set my hearts alarm, I was
devoured by your charm. Convinced there 
could be no harm. The flame that fueled my
heart, I could not explain. It just wasn't 
the same. With every beat you could see the
smoke from the heat. I'll tell the truth,
at that point I felt complete. We had such 
a flair, you could see as others would 
stare. I'll admit we made a nice pair. 
How could I think that each romantic date 
would lead me to my lonely fate. My kisses
wasted on one sided wishes. If only I could
rewrite this play, make it all go away.
Your such a great actor, my heart I let you
capture.

"Set thee to act in thy stage play, gather ye dreams in bottles and in flight fling them into the vast unknown, where songbirds may greet thy delusions with countenance and vigor, be thy appetite for lies, lest you find yourself again in smiles." -Shakespeare-

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
