Fading Fast

Your kisses and your smiles

Are lost on one so blind.

Have I wasted all this time?

All that forced sun and rain,

All I tried so hard to say,

You knew it anyway.

But I'll try to find what I've left behind.

Like a love miscast, now it's fading fast.

I've played these acts and scenes before,

One hundred times or more,

Taken bows by the score.

These practised tears are lies,

So smug and satisfied.

I'm bored and so tired.
