The Actress' Kiss

from Bright Again by Andy Klingensmith

/

lyrics

The actress' kiss staged upon my lips
Our love's tragedy, just a display placed in a play

But I hide my heart deep behind the art
though I feel as I do there on the page, here on the stage

Truth, truth is just a line memorized
Sweat awaits my eyes as her lips close on mine
Truth, truth is just a thing we enact
How should I react, when it's all just an act?

Every night I'm forced to love you again
Dramatize the honest feeling and then
Take a bow for what they think is pretend
Every night I get to watch as it ends

But who can complain when who you love is
a role planned and feigned? Please understand that
I kiss you in hopes that you can see through
my act, through the theater, and the disbelief
