Silver

Silent actress

On silver screen

All the roles you play

Are you lost in between

From flapper to starlet

Wife to harlot

The faces they change

But are you still the same

When you are alone

And the cameras are off

Do you know who you are

Without make up and gloss

And I watch you amazed

By these roles that you play

And wonder if you had voice

What would you say

Would you tell all the stories

Of girls that you’ve played

Or would you mention the couches

And jobs that were stayed

How was it then

To how it is now

Speaking with out voice

Now voice without sound

Lost in the movies

But the sight is not free

The closer I look

The less I can see
