    THE LAST PICTURE SHOW

    She is love
    And I know it
    The epitome
    Of love is she
    Abundantly
    And yet,
    Here I sit
    Alone
    Forlorn
    Forsaking
    The better parts of...me

    Her friends whisper
    That I'm a Wanderer
    They miscontrue
    My personality
    A frown
    Is bound
    2 produce
    Melancholy
    I prefer in others
    Frivolity

    Hello, my friend
    Happy 2 see you here
    Uncanny how it seems
    You always appear
    But, then again
    What would The Last Picture Show be
    Without the company...
    Of lonliness

    Yes, we are alone
    Save for 3 other lonely hearts
    Dreading when previews end
    And the movie starts
    For then
    Begins the countdown
    Of another worthless night

    I am
    Certain
    That I'm
    A burden
    So many others
    Request your
    Time
    In the darkness
    I gaze upon your countenance
    So calm your expression
    As I recall
    Past crimes...
    Perpetrated upon my heart

    Share my popcorn
    Please
    Why don't you
    I knew you were coming
    So I buttered it
    Lavishly
    What better way
    2 spend an evening
    Watching The Last Picture Show
    With my Dearest friend
    Only
    The
    Lonely

    Listen closely
    And you can hear the sighs
    Of 3 lonely hearts
    Who slept much too late
    And helplessly watched
    As love passed them by
    Thank goodness
    The darkness cannot be penetrated
    For,
    It hides
    The tears
    In their eyes


    Many sighs I know
    From experience are 2 deep
    For words 2 convey
    What can't be said
    What a heart refuses 2 say
    And waking up
    Full of hope and wonder
    Only 2 realize tis is just..
    Another
    Rainy day

    The movie
    Is almost over
    Please
    If you will
    Move much closer
    Even strong men
    Need a friend
    2 shed tears
    On a shoulder
    My
    Oh
    My

    Yes
    What a grand orchestral score
    The sound quality is such
    I can feel the reverberation
    Through the floor
    Or..
    Is that the sound of silence
    During the closing credits
    Of The Last Picture Show

    No, I didn't drive
    I thought
    What an opportunity
    4 my heart
    2 revive
    A cool autumn night of splendor
    Northeastern winds
    I can imbibe
    But..I did not know
    The forecast
    Called for rain

    Of course
    I won't complain
    4 though the rain
    Chills me 2 the bone
    I welcome certainly
    Its everpresence
    On the long, solitary
    Walk
    Home

    It appears
    The movie is over
    The ushers I know
    Are anxious 2 head home
    I sometimes wonder
    If they to watch
    The Last Picture Show
    Sitting
    Forlorn
    Forsaken
    And all alone

    Well
    Give my best
    2 other broken hearts
    The rain
    Won't let up
    So i'd better start
    A walk
    Into the oblivion
    Of an overcast
    Autumn night

    So long
    My frind
    Until
    We meet again
    Same place
    Same time
    Tomorrow night
    I must say
    With each encounter
    I don't know
    If loving her is wrong...
    Or right

    I've taken enough of your time
    I'll let you go
    Just promise
    You will be here tomorrow
    4
    The
    Last
    Picture.....
