before the begining

by hayley-virgo - Not entered

in a previous life
i got mixed up with broadway
and the sewers of new york
my nissan was a subway
my best friend was a 4th floor flat
and my lover was a theatre.
avenue b was my mother
and my father finally existed 
somewhere among the rats and street musicans
in my former life
my smile wasn't a joke
and my tears were only for the stage
a bottle of wine tasted as familiar as cherry coke
i even almost fell in love once
but, then i died
and woke up screaming in a hospital.

Reason for writing:

    why?...why not???
