The Aged Actress

The Aged Actress She walks on stage The people have all gone The light have faded to black Still she walks to center stage Her eyes glisten in the light from the exit sign Her looks have long since gone Age has taken a bad toll on her Yet, she remembers the days so long agao She would take the stage Singing and dancing She owned the stage To the audience she was their goddess A beauty beyond what God could create Now she stands before an empty house No one wants to see her dance No one wants to hear her sing She is a has been no one cares about Still she stands on the stage And lives a life only in her memories Memories that will soon fade The star that she was flickers and dies And she will be gone Even from her own mind
