And then everyone kisses
and the show is over
and you get up from your seats
you drive back to your home
get undressed
crawl into bed

because it was just a story
it was just a book
it was just a film

you know that
you know that
you know that

you know that it's your life
they are filming
are capturing with words
that steal away a piece you
probably never realized you had

and everyone kisses
and everyone drives home
and everyone wakes up

everyone but me
the character
