The Act.

It’s been a year and a half yet
I still come back to that night
so often, reliving it so vividly like
it just happened yesterday.

Standing in front of that large crowd
I need not to pretend
I could declare all my love and
give not a care in the world.

What would be a more perfect moment?
Pitch black darkness, with only the brightest beam
of light blinding me, nothing else existed-
nothing else mattered.

The room was silent of any sound,
I could hear only the beat of my heart
singing a million songs,
Rejoicing.

Proclaiming- what feelings have been
hidden for so long. There was only the sound
of my voice singing the song of
my tainted heart to those hundreds waiting.

You came, singing the same perfect tune-
it was beautiful. For once,
we need not be afraid-
and that we knew. Hence

the most beautiful melody
we’ve ever created. But,
all good things must come
to an end- an end neither of us

expected to come too soon.
The lights went back on,
so did the walls binding our hearts
apart, and that was it.
