Back Stage

On stage can be a lonely place

I looked for a friendly face, saw yours

How could you just appear after so long?

I pretended nothing was wrong

Till they played that song

The audience did not see the tears

Stream down my cheeks

My lines I tried to sing

Then back stage I was gone

I sat alone on the stair

I looked up to see you there

Are you alright? you asked

I nodded my head

Good girl was all you said

Back on stage I went through my part

Back stage I’m lonely

Back stage cries my heart.
