I went to a movie last night
Setting alone in the theater as the lights dim
Waiting with excitement for the start of the film
As it starts I feel that something is not quite right
Images streaming are something that cannot be
The lead looks too much like me
The plot eerily telling the story of my life
Terror sets in, cold with sweat and shaking
Screen flickering, telling the tale of my mistakes
Showing each time, from my back, I removed a knife
Close my eyes and slowly count to ten
Open them again, wishing to be anywhere but here
Accepting how empty life is, goes beyond mere fear
Just waiting for the final act and those ominous words “The End”
