pretending to cry out my eyes over a loss,
baring my soul as a mourner
and yet somehow a lifetime I had over to gloss.
as I was Artie who sat there and bled.
* a short tribute to the play Eleemosynary. It was... a hard play to be in. There were so many raw pent up feelings that I had to pull out, and let rampage across the stage. One scene always made me sob.
