Try not to blame yourself, love, <br />Your performance was strong, <br />The play was a failure.... <br />It was written all wrong <br /> <br />You remembered all your lines, <br />You were good in your part, <br />Rehearsal was brutal, <br />Not for the faint of heart <br /> <br />A story with no ending, <br />Two singers with no song, <br />Our lives have no meaning, <br />It was written all wrong <br /> <br />I know you prayed for guidance, <br />We know our faith was strong, <br />But we're not to blame, love, <br />The Author got it wrong <br /> <br />We should have loved each other, <br />What a sad circumstance, <br />Could we trust the Writer <br />To give a second chance? <br /> <br />It seems the longer we wait <br />All the harder it gets <br />To correct the failures, <br />To forget our regrets <br /> <br />We must put down this damn script, <br />These lines are all so wrong, <br />Let's listen to our hearts, <br />We know where we belong <br /> <br />Ah, too late for corrections, <br />Try to conceal that frown, <br />Take a bow, here's your flower, <br />The curtain's coming down!<br /><br />Lora Colon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-was-written-all-wrong/
