Act one
the play has begun,
audience please take your seats
children be silenced
ushers be on standby
HUSH HUSH HUSH

Act two
Antonio take your place
Giselle stay there and twirl
why aren't you crying
I can't tell your anguish from this ****** scene
CUT

Act three
children stop wailing
oh what
you are afraid of the ghosts on stage
trust me, there will be more
cue the mad men now
make them dance in circles on and off stage
make them engulf our precious audience with flames
of insanity and fury
NOW NOW NOW

Act four
are you getting tired of this crazy play
this is when the real deal begins
welcome to my circus of nightmare
the time when time is lost
the time when time is gone
the time when time is forgone
SILENCE


can you hear the howls
my pretty little claws are coming
can you hear the shrieks
my vixens are coming
can you hear the agony
they are coming from you.

THANK YOU

I know why some people act crazy after
having their hearts broken.
Bro    ken hearts can be mended
with the help of time.

Time is our most valuable wealth
the most sacred thing we possess.
Relationships are optional,
they are investments,
their values are determined by us.

Hearts are broken because of high investments
high commitments and raging emotions,
hearts are broken because of our inability to
accept the harsh truth.
But, hearts aren't broken unless we want them to.

I know why some people act crazy after
having their hearts broken.
Bro    ken hearts can be mended
with the help of time.

Now, we just need some time and mental strength.

please do not leave,
I can't take it.

please do not leave,
I am begging you once more.

please do not leave,
take me with you.

let me put your baggage away from the doorstep
let me serve you your favourite cup of coffee
hopefully, you'll stay.

the warmth of the sun is unattainable in this
harsh winter
howl howl howl,
I can only hear the guttering sound of the wind

your red hair contrast the snow
just like blood on snow
your silhouette stands there
like a dark shadow
an ominous presence in a winter that is like a Wonderland

please do not leave
the rooms are stripped
please do not leave
we have nothing left
please do not leave
I am on my knees.

couples holding hands
couples laughing aloud
couples hugging
couples talking
couples everywhere

I see couples everywhere,
many of them are happy,
sometimes they are furious
I see couples having meals,
male-male, female-female and male-female.

they look so happy, so delighted and relaxed
while I sit here with my glass of swirling whiskey.

when things happen,
we have varied reactions.

when the wind howls,
the trees shake in fear
we look out of the window
ironically brave

when the rain pours,
the ground cries in sadness
we seek shelter
ironically wet

when the earth shakes,
the building collapses
we stand tall
full of fear.
