Center stage
He loves me not
Exit left
Deserved what he got
Curtain call
Off with her head
Final bow
The theatre’s dead
Say it right
And feel the fear
Read it like you mean it
And the crowd will shed a tear
The wicked stage
Has claimed a life
The opera won another night
Enter right
Ophelia’s scene
Opening night
I dreamed a dream
Clashing swords
Crescendo swirl
War between houses
But the boy wins the girl
Read your lines
Make them real
Fake your emotions
til they’re all that you feel.
Wet the ink and turn the page
All the world’s a wicked stage

Hello all. This isn't my first poem, but it's my first post. I wrote this as a song for my older sister's band. Hope you enjoy :)
