Unaware that they are on a stage

Unaware that they are on a stage
The players come and go all afternoon.

If you were here, then we would be the scene,
But our Director has plans of his own.

Shadows and sunlight flicker on the table,
But when you read this, the sky is clear and cold.

A dark blanket, specked with stars, covers the world.
The tears come thick and fast, pouring down.
