The Red Curtain
What lies behind the red curtain, Pepper dear?
Is it the lost dreams of your wasted youth?
Is it everything that you have come to fear?
Is it the ugly, unforgiving truth?
You are everything that your young self despised
Perhaps it is she who will confront you now
Perhaps you'll see your wretched life eulogized
But who would wish to remember you anyhow?
Do you think that anyone could ever love you?
Do you think that your precious ghost will want to stay?
Why would anyone stay when they don't have to?
At first chance, he'll surely run away
You'll be alone forever in the end
No one even wants to be your friend

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
