footlights

The spotlight’s on you, you dance
Everyone’s watching, here’s your chance
To impress and amaze
With a wink and a gaze
Your fame and repute to enhance

I am but a footlight at your feet
Just one of many men you’ll meet
My light is on you
Whatever you do
But your gaze, is beyond, to the seats

The stage is your life is your play
Your love and your night and your day
Orate to the stalls
Of packed hushèd halls
Hanging on the next words you would say

There are few things I would not do for you
Yet the converse is highly untrue
Drop the curtains and lights
I exit, stage right
I fade, for you and your debut

I don’t like the last line. suggestions, anybody?
