Mr. Celebrity

Narrative song inspired by a novel I am working on.

 

It was a chance

Merely happenstance

That you walked into my world

 

A nefarious game

Of conquest and love, the same

And my heart was unfurled

 

Now my heard resides in anonymity

Trapped in curiosity

The crux of the matter

 

Will I ever be? Back to normality?

Or stuck in between celebrity and reality...

chosing the former or the latter?

 

I must abjure the pleasure of your company,

Mr. Celebrity

I will  deny this magnetic chemistry

Mr. Celebrity

I prefer my Anonymity.

 

 

The apenglow of the Hollywood Hills

It thrills and chills

 Me to the core

I’m so unsure

 

Is this the life for me?

Filled with abundance of money

But it does not come free

I pay the price of privacy

And the lack leaves my soul incomplete.

 

Do I ask you to walk away?

Away from me? Or the celebrity?

Or can I live with you and this insanity?

 

I must abjure the pleasure of your company,

Mr. Celebrity

I will  deny this magnetic chemistry

Mr. Celebrity…

I prefer my Anonymity.

 

I turn my face from you

I’m scared to death to say the truth

That I’m scared to death of being without you

But I know I can live without you

 

My heart is capacious

But my brain has trepidations

And I cannot make sense of it all

 

The paparazzi of the world

Prevent me from being your girl

As I make my way to the curtain call

 

I must abjure the pleasure of your company,

Mr. Celebrity

I will  deny this magnetic chemistry

Mr. Celebrity…

I prefer my Anonymity.

 

Though you’ve cosseted me

With gifts and luxuries

The pour out of your hands

 

I can see through the insecurity

I can't save you; I will not set you free

You must be a man

 

I must abjure the pleasure of your company,

Mr. Celebrity

I will  deny this magnetic chemistry

Mr. Celebrity…

I prefer my Anonymity.

 

This is the life you’ve chosen, not the one for me
