Curtain Call

Reality falls in beads of sweat
I can't make my heart align with my head
No compromise will be enough
To bring out the best in both of us 
Someone had to draw the line
Amongst the chaos of warning signs 
But even the bravest soldier falls
Every act has its curtain call.

Hi Jodie, lovely poem. I love the way you've used the 'curtain call' to signify the end of the relationship. Nice!
