Stage Girl

I stood there, 

Up on stage, In my red dress.

I glowed against the lights,

So intense they almost pierced through.

As I waited to begin, 

I watched the crowd in the darkness, 

Shuffling around, no notice of me. 

The piano began, without warning.

I closed my eyes 

And with a shakey voice, I start to sing.

-And it's not like anyone stopped for me. 

But I let it take me anyway, 

The words took me, 

My heart took over. 

The crowd disappeared, only you were there. 

I sang to you. 

A tear traveled down my cheek

as I remembered, 

The love we had, and more importantly lost. 

Awoken,

when I accidentally called for you. 

I opened my eyes, somewhat stained from mascara. 

My grip, tight on the mic. 

The crowd took no notice,

But you'd gone, again. 

No matter what I do,

I'm reminded of you.
