The Actor

Unused to the theatre
 I thought I’d try my hand
 and right on cue I went and fell
 for the leading man
  
 When my guard was down
 He delivered his first lines
 Well-rehearsed and confident
 Beautifully – timed
  
 He played his part so expertly
 And I fell into his bed
 My blood ran hot as coffee
 With everything he said
  
 I almost wanted to applaud
 When he played the final scene
 ‘twas as if I had a front row seat
 At a fancy West End screen
  
  “I Never Said I Loved You!”
 “What Do You Want From Me?”
 But I didn’t really know the script
 Or who I was meant to be
  
 Oh, costumes, lights and curtains!
 Drama, lust and fun!
 But now the show is over
 Dusted, dead and done
  
 What I didn’t realise
 About my little part
 Was I was just the understudy
 And another owned your heart
  
 And what a twist it ended with
 A devastating blow!
 I was the villain all along!
 Oh, Bravo, BRAVO, BRAVO!!
