I am love's fool
A joke
I play it on myself
Like a screenplay
I write the lines, create the characters
With the best attributes, the best intentions
Ignoring the ugly and cold
I read my script, memorizing my part
The leading men don't come to rehearsal
They play their roles for the audience, and leave me cold backstage
I've decided I don't like role play
I refuse to be a pawn
I've done this to myself
So now I can end it
No more sweet words, kind gestures, time or faith
I'm done
They can't hurt me if I don't allow them in
This actress has officially retired
So long, stagelights
Your glitter has faded and all that is left is a dark theatre
And a forgotten girl, who wanted to play the heroine
I refuse to be that girl ever again
I am now a woman, accepting her fate, and forgetting them, before they can do it to me
I play it on myself
Like a screenplay
I write the lines, create the characters
With the best attributes, the best intentions
Ignoring the ugly and cold
I read my script, memorizing my part
The leading men don't come to rehearsal
They play their roles for the audience, and leave me cold backstage
I've decided I don't like role play
I refuse to be a pawn
I've done this to myself
So now I can end it
No more sweet words, kind gestures, time or faith
I'm done
They can't hurt me if I don't allow them in
This actress has officially retired
So long, stagelights
Your glitter has faded and all that is left is a dark theatre
And a forgotten girl, who wanted to play the heroine
I refuse to be that girl ever again
I am now a woman, accepting her fate, and forgetting them, before they can do it to me
