Jill:
Pillow talk at 1 am
Fingers holding close
Marjolein:
Intimate admissions
With eye contact and no clothes
Jill:
I worry now for everyone
For Asha and the gang
I fill my time with futile tasks
To keep away the pain
Marjolein:
I try to learn and to become
But think I’m just a fake
I worry I will never be
Worth the time they take
Sarah, she’s so competent
So sure and then there’s me
Bumbling through everything
I seem but never be
Jill: Pillow talk at 1 am
Marjolein: Fingers holding close
Jill: Intimate admissions
Marjolein: With eye contact and no clothes
Jill:
Marjolein you’re wonderful
You’re more than what you think
In time you’ll gain the confidence
I wish that I could give
I feel I’m manic pixie dream girl
Wandering through life
Gaze at shiny objects
To distract my frightened mind
I bring the fun but never bond
I’m lonely, sometimes cry
The playhouse gangs the only ones
I feel are ever mine
Marjolein:
I’m lonely too, for being trans
The place I was brought up
Was difficult, and here’s
The only chance for home I’ve got
Jill:
Pillow talk at 1 am
Fingers holding close
Marjolein:
Intimate admissions
With eye contact and no clothes
Lloyd:
Is our new dream stumbling
And I can just not see
It seemed like we had joy
Another love another dream
The coldness and the anger
For a minute disappeared
It seemed we could recapture
What we lost back then to tears
Raven:
I keep the manicness at bay
I keep my sanity
I hold to you so tight
Maybe I feel you cannot breath
Paradise was lost
And our hearts broken but you know
We can’t ignore the darkness
That is building even so
Jill:
You know I saw Sarah in this nearby strand. Coming out of this theatre in the dead of night
Marjolein:
Maybe she went to see a show?
Jill:
No. It was like she was rehearsing. Something very demanding, she looked really, what’s the word, expended? Like she’d been sweating something fierce
Marjolein:
I wanted to try to talk to her privately, try to ease the tension that’s been building. Away from all this. If you can tell me where, I’ll go there and try to talk to her. Somewhere Lloyd and Raven aren’t around. Maybe calm things down
Jill: Good idea
