The play's the thing

[huskiesfan]

The curtain raises in the play of my heart.

I sit here watching the stars in the night

Watching the shooting stars streak accross the sky

And I look up at the stars

And I wonder why?

 

I feel like I’m playing the role of the fool

In this production

And when the play is through

Im thrust back to the start.

 

The play’s the thing.

And this play of the heart continues on

As we go through the acts

As I search for a happy ending

On this stage of the heart

 

Facing a stone wall

That shuts me out in every which way

Im left alone

To sit under this tree

And gaze at the stars.

 

I sit here

Stranded in an island of stars

Stranded on the stage of my heart

Waiting for a day that may never come

Hoping for a day that may never come

Hoping that that day

Will come.

 

But I stay hopeful nonetheless

Because life and love is a play

And the show must go on.

"And the show must go on."

 

Lovely poem, great closing line.
