Another Act


Darkness invades the soul, while
Ice courses through the veins.
A heart can only play so many roles
Before the curtain falls and fatigue settles.
Weariness overwhelms me from the act,
Yet I still travel the lonely path to your arms.
Pretense makes me weak
And my shields waver.
The spotlight of your eyes shines on me
And I know you can feel my hesitation, yet
The curtain rises and I stand on my mark to
Perform one more scene
in this lonely play of devotion.
My skills are great, as you never suspect
That the act has even begun.
