Another Chapter To The Play

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

We only have so many lines
Before our books are filled
Which describe our greatest dreams
And which the ones that rose
To fall like Icarus

One future lies behind
One future will be given
This adds it to the play
Your role's the final cut
Cut out finally to pose
Just the one you want to be

So many lines that fade away
That your memory rarely does read out again
When you try to think of nothing
And suddenly get caught up
In the middle of a moment
In an attempt to bring some reason
Into this disordered world

Wondering if this is right
When held into the light
Tomorrow as the cause
For our yesterday's attempts
And then held all inside
Like this folded letter
You read them all again
The messages you never got
And those not meant for you

Such serious irrelevance
It hurts to see it go
But those lips still remain sealed
Hesitate for one short moment
You have all that it takes
Or was it all that you have taken
Conjure these strangest moments
Of lies and plastic make-belief

All too common
You see these visions pass
Just realize they can be changed
When you see
What they really are
