Empty Ballad
he basks in the spotlight
an angel
and
the throngs surround
calling for more
the critics rave
only time knows that he is nothing
but words and music of an era
a face on an album cover

more than they know they will ever be
his reality crushes their dreams
his words their fantasy
He is nothing
they are nothing
his words are nothing
but for one moment they
believe
