Do I Look Okay?
By DavidVale
In the style of a romantic drama musical.
[Normal, calm]
Don't ask, if I'm okay
For I cannot tell you lies
Don't ask,
why I am down
Or why inside, my heart dies
[Sad]
Look
down, and see the lake before you
Mirroring pale eyes
And know
that these tears will not fall from
Any other skies!
[Loudening,
gaining strength]
Can't you feel what's all around you?
Can't
you see the flowers bloom?!
Know you not that in this darker building
Lurks my darker gloom?!
[Loud, with angry passion, last word
of the stanza forcefully]
Passion, life, embraces!
Lonelieness,
deep sighs!
Cheerful get togethers with their
Not so cheerful
fights!
[Pause, loud deep breaths, quieting]
[Whispering,
sobs and pauses between words]
Comes dawn, a new tomorrow
Comes
waking of the end
Sad realization than we never were
Nothing,
but just friends
[Pause. Quiet sobs, trying to regain composure]
[Despair, quiet, speaking calmly, slowing at the end]
Don't
ask, if I'm okay
It's apparent from my eyes
[Starting to kneel]
You can see, that hope for hope... Has…
Finally… Just. Died.
[On the floor, kneeling, head down]
