The Life of a Play
We
stand, silhouetted,
against the backdrop
of life.
against the backdrop
of life.
Holding hands in the dark,
but with eyes
of strife and madness.
The
lights come up,
and with all
our might.
and with all
our might.
We’ll
show
them
our chemistry,
and
make
it
through
the night.
them
our chemistry,
and
make
it
through
the night.
Our
play is performed
and the crowd
doth jeer.
and the crowd
doth jeer.
And
left
with a sense
of what’s right
and
what’s wrong,
They wonder, a while,
with a sense
of what’s right
and
what’s wrong,
They wonder, a while,
About
why
they are here.
they are here.
The
show
is over
and the costumes
replaced
is over
and the costumes
replaced
And we
leave
with a love
than cannot
be
misplaced
with a love
than cannot
be
misplaced
We revel
in this world
of beauty
and light.
of beauty
and light.
This
we will remember,
forever,
from our time
on this stage of our life.
forever,
from our time
on this stage of our life.
