[title] => As I Hear that Curtain Closing

[hometext] => I wrote this after I had gotten over my first real break up. Comments are very appreciated.
[bodytext] => It’s hard to imagine that everything in my world as I know it Everything I’m thinking and feeling will eventually just be part of the story That these scenes of youthful indiscretion will age into faded pictures on some dog ear’d page of a photo album tucked away in the cellar That the naïve, boyish smile creeping across that young mans face throughout them isn’t mine. Furthermore, it isn’t even his It belongs to the moment, just as all good things do. So the ticking clock beside me sets the rhythm of change as days fade into weeks and then months. Now all the actors have moved on to different scenes in different plays And as I hear that curtain closing I can’t help but smirk and bow to the crowd Whether there are roses at my feet or not...
