Enjoy the Show

by RB   Feb 21, 2008


[Awaited arrivals] tremble within.
Practiced speech fills an aching mind.
Rewind, replay. Rewind, replay.
Are the words just right?

[Saddened smiles] greet at the door.
Hearts shatter in an awkward embrace.
Lips collide with absent emotion.
I'll save the memories in my pocket.

[Eyes close] to hide from the truth.
Shaking hands caress lonely cheeks.
Proceeding words don't run away.
Distant hearts are breaking ties.

[Tears flow] from the oceans within.
Funny how you try to catch them.
Too late to repair the broken parts.
This is our reality. Carry on.

[Chest tightens] in a silent scream.
Like a slap across the face.
Like a bandage ripped away.
I suffer through the pain.

[Heart explodes] into throbbing aches.
Three words never to be said again.
Walk away before they roll off my tongue.
Leave me stumbling. Just blow me a kiss.

Awaited arrivals; Saddened smiles.
Eyes close; Tears flow.
Chest tightens; Heart explodes.
Final words: ["Enjoy the show."]
