TAKE ME TO THE THEATRE
Take me to the
theatre
I keep getting it wrong
Can't seem to put it right
I find I'm oh so selfish
That all I want to do is fight
A husband who needs more love
A father who needs more patience
I seem to be running on the spot
In this quagmire of my confessions.
Take me to the
theatre
And lay me on the table
Take up that knife and cut me
Till my life is much more able.
Never too early
to love
But it's often too late
I'm too often too judgmental
When the jury's my own heart's hate
An enemy who needs more forgiveness
A friend who needs more sacrifice
Take up that knife and cut me
Till I'm ready to pay the price.
And my soul is
so frightened
As you lay me down
My mind it thinks the worst
Of what might be found
But my soul is full of hope
Of when I rise again
That all of my crippling ills
Will be something way back then.
Steve Stockman - 'Take me to the Theatre' is from Steve Stockman's forthcoming collection of poetry 'Gifts, Rifts and Paradigm Shifts' available in early 1999.
