Act Two

Intermission over Where have you been The urgency in your voice On nights when your missing me Turns tepid and again You melt away Quicker than the snow That remains... Unlike you.. The opening act Kept me on the edge of my seat Hanging on the monologue Your unspoken dialogue Watching you work the stage Hot bodied under the lights With overture rising I fell into your crescendo Thinking I knew the script And I could figure out the plot Of late I've been up late Painting pictures of you On the ceiling tiles Practicing how to disguise my smile Should you pull the curtain back And begin again, Act Two
