Act 1 Scene 1 Poem by brianna arnott

Act 1 (sleeping through it all)
Scene 1 (dreamed i was real)
(THE LOVED comes into the BEDROOM to shake THE LOVER from sleep)

THE LOVED: You never cared about anyone or anything at all. you just closed your eyes abd nade the choice to fall.

THE LOVER: Wake me when it's over. I've made the choice to dream. I haven't got the strength ti try and deal with things.

THE LOVED: You are the patron saint of sleeping through it all. So beautiful......

(THE LOVER lays back down with eyes closed. THE LOVED throws THE LOVER from teh bed and starts shouting)

THE LOVED: You found a method of circumventing the pressure to explain. Jut close your eyes and this whole crisis will be washed away. And you'll wake up smiling......

THE LOVER: I dreamed I was real.....and everything was beautiful

THE LOVED: You're buried in blankets while people you love are falling to pieces from damage you've done. You've buried your loved ones in unmarked graves, all in an effort toward keeping your face beautiful.

(THE LOVER hides under the blanket)

THE LOVED: Show me your eyes

(THE LOVER won't remove the blanket. THE LOVED gets frustrated and leaves)
