Blue Backdrop Daydreams

When I daydream
I paint my backdrop blue
Then I place the actors where they should rightly be
With crooked handsome smirks
Plastered on their dumb, ignorant faces
And I muse at such innocence for minutes
Until I draw the curtain
Writing each line as it is said aloud

For that is when everything is
So perfect
So flawless
I smile at all the right moments
I handle myself with soft elegance
And my hair falls gracefully in place with one
Strand to leave my questioner gazing

Because I know when the time truly does come
Beyond the blue background
My heart will be racing
And my legs will be shaking
And my lips will feel numb
And my hands will be cold
And my laugh will sound forced
Since my words will crack hoarse

But the worst part is
I don't know what he'll say
Or what he'll do

So in front of the blue...I write his words too
And that way
My comebacks are witty
My reactions are timely
My eyes are not downcast
And I will be charmed
By each hinting comment
Never alarmed

We will both,
Together,
Move foward
And I'll try not to bite my lip
While biting my tongue
Because some moments do not need words
Some silence is the music unsung

In my mind I can pretend
Every rip and tear,
Every sore, every fear, I can mend
With makeup and lighting
To break up all fighting
Since I will be writing behind the blue
The story of Me and You
