Actor

When she put on her dress
She was an actor in a play
Living in someone else’s shoes
Speaking someone else’s words
Breaking someone else’s heart
And pocketing someone else’s name.

She could fool even the sharpest person
With her pose
With her grace
With her keen mind.

The actor was so talented
So gifted and in sync with her character
So lost in someone else’s life
That she fooled her loved ones
She gripped onto her mask
She tossed out words that were not her own
She took a hammer to their hearts
Breaking them as if they were glass
She tore them apart like rag dolls
Confusing them on where they stood
Presenting them with the cold truth.
She was gone.

No longer herself
Suddenly a princess
Suddenly homeless
Suddenly breath-taking
Suddenly hideous.

She was gone.
Lost in different lives.
Floating above the clouds
In a world that wasn’t her own.
She’d lost everyone.
She’d lost herself.
She’d truly became her character.

Her Flashback

Flashback
To a simple time
When she was young
Her dress blew as she ran through the tall grass
Her bronze pigtails flying
Smacking her cherry-red cheek when she glanced back
To find the green-eyed boy chasing her.
She picks up her speed
As to get just the right jump to cross the stream.
Looking back to him
She finds him right behind her.
Together they stumble into the weed-like grass.
Bodies entwined
Face-to-face
Blushing like mad
But they were care-free.
They were young.
They were love.
