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.
