Page 119 of My Rock Star Neighbor
Maddie is slowly lowered into my view.Very Romeo and Juliet.Bubbles float over the stage and the audience.I can’t take my eyes off her.I sing about how we met.Her knocking on the wall complaining becomes the percussion beat of this new song.
I sing the lyrics:
Romance was not for me.
I was too blind to see
I’d lost faith in love
I said no to all the above
I say no, no risks,
keep it all for the show
A contract was purposefully defined
No emotions allowed, love tightly confined
Until I met my neighbor next door
Who crept into my cold heart ever more
Her knocking on the wall
There was no meeting too small
It became the beating of my heart
And the inspiration for my art
I say no risks,
keep it all for the show
A contract was purposefully defined
No emotions allowed, love tightly confined
But as life with her
became an adventure
creating a love I could envision
beyond the contract’s provisions
I say No risks,
keep it all for the show
A contract was purposefully defined
No emotions allowed, love tightly confined
Until it became a choice between us and our dreams
Because of various schemes
