Come to me. I am an actress you see. I can love you the way you wanted to be love treat you the way you wanted to be treated seek home in my embrace seek warmth in my bed seek love at the cliffs of my lips Do you fancy sweeter? Do you want space? I can give it you see. I know what you want because like you, I need love too. Come, my lover I am nothing but, a picture of happiness You have summoned me, out from the pages of your fantasies out from the imagery that sprung from folds of your idle mind smile, laughter, glisten on my eyes I'm the breath of your lost youth, I'll offer you nothing but paradise I am nothing but paradise Come to me, tired and already bowed down I'll quench your hollow well with life two in two, we'll paint a picture of fantasy I with the brush, you with the pencil let's paint it red with passion, yellow for happiness blue, orange, purple we'll make it our rainbow escape our kaleidoscope heaven. I'll call you the sweetest names your ears are begging to hear so sweet like sugar plum, so sweet you can taste the air with it Come to me, my baby let's make this few hours together last forever lets make memories like classic movies we're addicted on aren't we good? aren't we so believable, Two foolish old kids we are... Our rendezvous always sweet and short Quick to pack up, and eager to remove our masks We can only play this role for awhile We can only pretend for a limited time. We both know we can't keep up with the stage With the gleaming lights, and billowing demands of our wants always on our toes, our make up, thick and pale The you and I in the we, are not fools, just desperates, but never numb, deaf, blind, dumb, numb to the dead beating of our hearts deaf to the silence of our sorrowed souls blind to the lifeless glisten of our eyes dumb to know what you and I very well know... You and I know there wasn't any We to begin with You and I know what we made, You and I know who you and I are even before this You and I know what is staged and what's not When the curtains fall, and our shoulders finally slumped and feet flat on the ground Tired, oh but how I know how relieved you would feel. You go back in the life that you know, and so do I. You sleep alone, wake up alone. live , breath and weep alone. Being real, alone. I know all this you know. Because much more than an actress, I am a human too, who like you, needs true love too.

Monologue of the Desperates
