Absurd Theatre
I lost you in some absurd comedy
Moth-eaten curtains and dusty stage.
My soul parades in total absurdity
As someone forgot to turn the page.
My cheeks are powdered white
Silly curls in the wig that I wear.
Everyone will believe this night
In this absurd theatre I swear.
Please let these curtains fall
Please hide this pathetic act.
The cliches that so appall
Let me keep my soul intact.
I stand naked and exposed
Backlighted by stage light glare.
All pride has been disposed
I have my pain to declare.
Like Juliet I call your name
Every performance I play the part.
Forever a tragedy all the same
In the absurdity of my heart.
