Tell me dear:
I wonder if you are lonesome tonight. You know someone said the world is a stage and we each must play a part. Fate had me play in love with you as my sweet heart. Act one was when we met. I loved you at first glance. You read your lines so cleverly and never misses a cue⁸. Then came act two, using the change you acted strange, and why I’d never known. Honey you lied when you said you love me, and I had no cause to doubt you. But I would rather go on living without you. Now the stage is bare and I’m standing⁹ there with emptiness all round. And if you won’t come back to me, then they can bring the curtain down.
