Are You Lonesome Tonight? Poem by Brian Aji

This following poem was a spoken part to a song originally recorded by Elvis Presley. I am a huge Elvis fan, and have always felt that this part should be published as a poem.

I wonder, if you're lonesome tonight.
You know someone said that the world's a stage, and each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love with you as my sweetheart.
Act one was when we met. I loved you at first glance.
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue.
Then came act two:
You seemed to change, you acted strange,
And why, I'll never know.
Honey you lied when you said you loved me,
And I had no cause to doubt you.
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies,
Than to go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there, with emptiness all around.
And if you won't come back to me,
Then they can bring the curtain down.

R.I.P. Elvis Aaron Presley- May your music be re-introduced to the world, and may children today understand how great you really were. Not just your music, but your personality. I will do my best to keep your spirit alive.
