Cinema

Was once a lady broken-hearted and undone

She nearly lost her faith

She'd ever meet her mate one day

Though love was nearby

In fact about to make its entrance

Later in the script but in the meantime

Behind her smile lived a loneliness

No Leonardo could hide

When hearts collide

Can they ever repair

Love never lasted off-screen;

How could she fly without wings

Losing each new leading man

To those unhappy endings

Behind her tears ebbed an emptiness

Vast as an ocean as blue

But no one knew

Of the weather within

Cinema aimed at the heart

But none of the loves scenes were real:

Simply rehearsing a part

She'd forgotten how to feel

Enter the one that the author

Created especially for her;

The focus blurs

The composer writes strings

Cinema straight from the heart

Shot on location within

We see the past fade to black

We see happiness begin
