Unscripted Acts of Love
Scene one
Why do we continuously watch this show?
When we've already seen the ending many a times before
I may be repeating the lines to my script
somehow you easially can get me all unfocused
and upset once again!
And now I lost my place
I rack my brain to remember if you told me your name
A time or two ago
But you are a totally new character,an unfamiliar face
This scene will never turn out
No matter how many cuts
Or how many takes
I can no longer be a lead role in this play
I never wanted to be an actress for a living
Or even non-existing anyways
So with dialect, I dictate this diction
Our situation with us that is
Ain't on no commercial brake
Maybe though,a permanant intermission
Our "so-called" love and the relationship we share
Will never budge, at least forward on
'Cause as far as I can see
It's always going to be a re-run
Scene two
Today I don't feel like putting on any stage make-up
I don't feel like putting on a mask
Nor a fake face or pretend to laugh
Our buttons we both pushed
All got stuck on pause,fast-foward,rewind,and slow-motion
Going nowhere fast
Only to keep on repeating the same scene
Playing the worst parts over and over and over
I just want things to be like they were before
This is not an all new episode
Our antenna's must have been damaged from the last storm
'Cause our connection has a lot of static no matter
What channel we try to tune into
Get the picture?
-This is a soap opera of our love unscripted,and the acts that follow
comes with consequences
