A Flower and a Tear
Of all her fasioned intruge, oh how it seems...her longing to be a star
Of lace and draped garb she wears a trinket of charm
And gives all she has
to capture a dream
With pounding applause the crowd screaming aloud she gracefully enters the stage
With doubt in her mind her heart still alive
She plays the performance of her life
Bleeding her soul she sings as she strolls
down a path of love and grace
Bound centerstage her hand clutched in refrain
As she cautiously recites a spoken word
"Vulnerable - Exposed
I sell my soul....
With words
Falling from my lips
Rejection - I Fear
A love story
Revered
As I confess
All my love for you"
Sikently she turns to meet me backstage
As I hand her a flower and a tear
