Introspection a soul search throwing up answers all vaguely disappointing.
He was born to be a star yet he was passed over in favor of an aging has been.
Offered a lowly side role to accept which wouldn't be a career advancement.
Dreams dying in his hearts as She walked away from his life.
He just knew it. "She" wasn't ever coming back.
The love of his life since he landed in town with bit parts as body parts of famous thespians. ..
He had once landed hand and body shots for this particular actor who had supplanted him.
Supposedly both had long sensitive "piano" fingers.
She too came out of nowhere became a small time starlet but as his girlfriend she came to the notice of Mr. Aging Piano fingers superstar.
Now that she was in a starring role opposite him...opportunity knocks but once....they both had discussed how it had to be grabbed with eager fingers....
Eager long fingers lingering on her shoulders...not his....
He introspected...dark and bitter like chocolate. ..while his palms lay fingers pressed against the silent windowpanes...
Two Prayers. ...against
Inevitability.
