First off, I know I slacked off last year and well, the start of this year. But I’m back and really do intend to post a poem daily! Or at the very least, post something daily! Anyway, this is a song from 2010 I wrote about a breakup.

The Play (Curtains)

By the time you get there the play is halfway over,

Now the curtains have fallen and it’s getting colder.

The applause have been made,

Thank yous and gifts have been exchanged

Now it’s time for the final goodbye, yeah we gave it a try,

But the curtain has closed.

The play is over, the actors have left the building

Who would’ve thought it’d be a tragedy?

The play is over, yet you’re still sitting in your seat,

But now I gotta leave

Because the play is over, the play is over

There is nothing left for me.

The after party’s already halfway over,

before you even know it starts.

Parties just aren’t your thing,

But still it would’ve been nice if you’d shown up once or twice.

Yeah I was right here waiting,

Until the curtain dropped at my feet…

my heart heart broke over everything.

Now the play is over, the actors have left the building

Who would’ve thought it’d be a tragedy?

The play is over, yet you’re still sitting in your seat

But now I gotta leave

Because the play is over, the play is over

There is nothing left for me.

The reports are made, the papers say that it ended too soon,

It was too good to be true.

And now the curtains close and I’ve got to go

But my heart is breaking,

For you it is aching…

But the play is over, the curtains have fallen down on me.

The play is over, nobody thought it’d be a tragedy.

The play is over, and now you’re looking for me,

But I’ve already left the building.

The play is over, the actors have left the building

Who would’ve thought it’d be a tragedy?

The play is over, yet you’re still sitting in your seat

I waited so long but now I have to leave

Because the play is over, the place is over

There is nothing left for me.

And by the time you get there the play is halfway over,

The curtains have fallen and it’s getting colder…
