I used to play a movie
Inside my head
The film strip is broken
Because
I kept replaying one part over and over again
The rhythm of the water laping the shore
Mixing with the breeze
The sand that had turned cold
I was by myself
Crying into my sweat shirt
Pulled down over my goose bumped bare legs
He left my fantasy
Before I could say I loved him
He was never there
That's why when I watched it in the empty theater
There was nothing but white fuzz and a forlone buzz
I used play a movie
In my head
I'm not heart broken any more
Just angry
That my fantasy will never be a reality
I used to play a movie...
I used to

Our doubts are traitors,
And make us loose the good we oft might win
By fearing to attempt.
~Shakespeare

Very nice, Joy.  You drew me in so I could watch the movie with you.  It does sound like it's time for a new and different script though.

the fantasies are fun, when reality stinks. I hope your reality is soooo much better now.

It is. I'm adjusting. It takes time. Thanks for your replies.
