To my dearest:

Remember what you said?

That we would be together,

Forever and for always?

Always is a long time, love.

I can’t blame you for leaving.

You got tired of the lies

You wrote and preformed

For me so many times.

Encore, encore!

You’re so thoughtful that way.

Pardon? Speak louder.

You say that you love me?

Sorry, dear, I’ve hear it before.

Your premier only worked once.

Yes, I know you’re sorry,

But actions speak louder

Than words, and I can barely hear

A thing, I’m afraid.

Funny how loud those voices

Can be, isn’t it?

No, I’m afraid I can’t forgive this time.

I have to live before your

Love blinds me again, dearest.

Maybe I’ll be an actress,

Because you taught me how so well.

I’ve even learned how to paint

A smile on my face and

Say the words you have approved

So I’ll be good at it, for sure.

Goodbye, my love, and Godspeed.

I’ll remember you each day,

When I look in the mirror and

See the marks of you love

Across my painted, smiling face.

They say those things last, you know.

Sincerely,

Your favorite audience

A/N: Dedicated to my dearest, forever and for always. Your love blinded me for a long time.
