Strutting and vexing on the stage,
Waiting for the curtain to come down like a guillotine.
Severing the tongue from it's function,
Wagging in desperation for a pallet.
Watching the spotlight burn a hole into my heart
How foolish I have become in love.
Trying to catch ahold of of something tangible with form,
How I want the bullet to come for me.
To end the dance and revel in decay,
Leaving only my heart to beat in resounding rythm for you.

Desperately Finding Hope

I am the poor player of life.
Strutting and vexing on the stage,
Waiting for the curtain to come down like a guillotine.
Severing the tongue from it's function,
Wagging in desperation for a pallet.
Watching the spotlight burn a hole into my heart
How foolish I have become in love.
Trying to catch ahold of of something tangible with form,
How I want the bullet to come for me.
To end the dance and revel in decay,
Leaving only my heart to beat in resounding rythm for you.

Ah, cool, first a take on
Shakespeare's words from MacBeth!
Then you take over in the
most aamzing way.
A guillotine curtain, a spotlight
that burns a hole in your heart...

I often think you're the best poet
on this site.
I've just always found your style
really exciting. Keep it up!

The last line is the best!
You never fail to impress, my dear friend.
Great job!

This is wonderfully pieced together. Especially the last line:
"Leaving only my heart to beat in resounding rythm for you."

Yeah, so, this is freaking great! Fantastic lines from start to finish- wow.

I think my favourite might be:

Waiting for the curtain to come down like a guillotine.

Epic.
