Act 2 Scene 4 Poem by brianna arnott

Act 2 (Wearing all your sadness as a fashion)
Scene 4 (driving by starlight)

(the LOVER is in the CAR sitting at a scenic overlook. the LOVER is writing in a notebook reading aloud.)

the LOVER: On a night like tonight my memory's begging for silence and a long dark drive. Down back roads for miles and miles, keeping the radio quiet. Driving with no headlights.

(the GHOST enters the CAR and starts laughing. the LOVER is started and continues writing)

the LOVER: The passenger sear is laughing at me, still holding the shape of your memory. Why don't the stars collide? It seems to me the sky is over crowded and my wishes can't decide which white faded point of light holds answes. In this night my thoughts are clouded but my eyes still shine so bright.

(the LOVER turns to a clear page)

the LOVER: On a night like tonght, I can't help but feel I'm the reason for ny price I'll pay.

the GHOST: The cost of lies is rising tonight.

the LOVER: But I guess it's about time for the coming and going of seasons.

the GHOST: Nothing gold can stay.

the LOVER: This time I'll drive for miles and I'll forget.

(the GHOST starts laughing again)

the LOVER: If i could I'd turn the car around, but the raod's to narrow and I'm to proud.

(the LOVER puts away the notebook and starts the CAR. the GHOST fades and the LOVER starts driving home)
