The stage is set
The actors take their place
The scene you will not forget
Such simple grace
2
The play is the story of two lovers
The curtains rise like a bloody knife
There stands two people filled with strife
One suffers from deep longing
The other is fine
One suffers from deep desires
The other is fine
One suffers from deep lacks
The other,
3
The other one is perfect
The other one has no needs
That the other cannot fill
She is perfect
4
As the show goes on
The two grow apart
The man to the woman is drawn
But she wishes only to depart
5
Can one blame her?
This man pushes and pushes
Thinking he knows best
But she is perfect
The woman fights and fights
Thinking she knows best
6
The show must go
And the man grows weary
The woman continues to grow
The separation makes him dreary
7
Can you blame him?
The woman runs and runs
Thinking she is right
But she is perfect
The man cries and cries
Thinking she is right,
For she is perfect
8
The show must end
But every story has its happy ending,
Even this one
She sees more than him
She sees his love that fills the theatre
He still sees her as he has always, perfect
They leave together as one, perfect
They end their life together, perfect
This is the story of our life
