The Actor
Location
In the words of the actor that lives my life
"The true me, that isn't me, is walking strife"
My voice is miniscule
In a world of puffed chests and rabid children.
His voice is cool
Changing the world into a silk pavilion.
They ask him, "What is it that makes your mood so bright?"
He says, "A combination of howling on the moon and singing to the night"
The truth always festers in his lies
a nick in the silver tongue
I bear myself to the skies
I cling to a the night once sung
Some will say that I and he remain as separate entities
He and I are one
Two pieces of an ancient tablet that could never quite be
Decimated in the rays of lost suns
When in a world of sharp sticks and jaged stones
I am with myself and my actor utterly alone
Though I will never be lonely
