The Final Act
Act I – The Mask Cracks
Beauty will fade
Promises decay
A crack in the mask
Our hearts betrayed
Act II – An Audience in Waiting
An audience at bay
Crescendo of the play
At the end, a long pause
Holding for applause
Act III – Curtain Fall
As the curtain falls
The silence is chilling
Finale
Our victim was the villain.
