Poem Title:
Poem
The heart that has taken on many parts, the lead role in every play, Stands up on stage too many times, after a while he forgets his name, Lost in the illusion, gaining attention from every side, He starts to personalize every role directing his very life, A love letter catches his eye from a distant lifetime ago, Awakening him from the illusion to face a love he's long sinced known, Shaking him from the dream, bringing his heart back to his roots, Defying the image in the mirror he sees, this love he misunderstood, Out of the woods and back to his heart, he gives his identity away, Recognizing his soul from a past long ago, before he ever lost his way, After the crowd applauses, he steps away to be alone, And reads the love letters one more time, for the innocence to find his way home, An angel stood beside him, unseen and unheard from the crowd, She took his hand to face the pain, to bring his heart back somehow, At first he fought her tooth and nail, and pushed the letters away, She begged and pleaded, you must see the truth, or your heart will truly fade, He said I will replace this love, there is no time to face this fear, But the angel warned him, if you regress, you'll be hiding this love for years, You will be in the moment, here and now, with some happiness from time to time, But you will always look back, missing your true love, searching for her the rest of your life.
