Tonight's Feature Presentation (2008)

tonight’s feature presentation
has everything you’d ever want
in a blockbuster
comedy, romance, action
drama, drama and more drama

a moment of truth:
i am in love

oh so deeply in love
but he doesn’t know
he doesn’t know how much I care
should he find out?
and if he ever does
will i lose him forever?

watch the plot thicken…

close up on the tarot cards
on the table in maria’s backyard

the three of swords
struggle; heartbreak
tears; strife
conflict…
“i hate when i pull this card”

a moment of truth:
my father is dead

one summer day
my life completely changed
yes i have my mom
but i feel like an orphan
at twenty-one years old
and the family doesn’t care

see the drama unfold…
cut to the bell tower
every single day
i’m reminded of my loss
my pain
what i would give to see him
just one more time

but it’s time for me to soldier on

tonight’s feature presentation
will prove that there is
life after death
