The Leading Lady

The Leading Lady

Watching an old movie and struck by the actor's lines
Words that seemingly ring true to past love designs

As I continue to watch the scene alone in my head
Cuddled with blankets in my overstuffed platform bed

Could I not deny; the well-planned outcome to each great love-affair
"Always the friend, never the leading lady." - this program line did declare

The phase is indeed true ... I am the lady they seem to dismiss
I guess I'm racking up the friends as we all continue to reminisce

Hi K -- Thank you for your comments and you were right a enjoyed your poem "Broken Candy Wrapper". An entertaining read!

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
