Take a hold of your hands and dive off of a cliff into freezing water. If you look at it hard enough, that's kinda what love is like. There's the jump, which would relate to getting together with someone, the fall, in terms would be the long [or short] relationship, and then the crash, the final kiss.
[Scene: dark stage, emptiness]
{Curtain up; lights up}
[Enter Cassandra]
Cass. What is wrong with me!?!?! What did I ever do to you?
[Enter Ryan]
Ryan. Cassandra please be reasonable. You're causing a scene. {Grabs Cassandra's wrists} You and I both know this was never going to work out. I love you but I can't take it anymore.
Cass. You said you loved me, you said that you wanted to share our lives together, and now I'm not good enough? You would leave me for that, that, INSULT of a woman?
Ryan. Please understand that I'm not leaving just because of her. Rose has nothing to do with it. It's the distance, Cassandra. I can't stand the fact that I am so far away from you.
Cass. That doesn't take away the fact.
Ryan. {takes Cassandra's face in his hands} I love you. But it's over.
Cass. {pushes him softly and calmly away} Then why are you still here?
{Ryan looks hurt and bows head. Turns to walk away.}
{Exit Ryan}
{Cass. Starts to cry and falls down onto floor of stage.}
Cass. Oh cruel love, why must my heart take in so much pain and sorrow? I can feel the crack in it start to go deeper and deeper. I am lost within this sea of rage and hatred for one of my own kind and the pools of lavished lust and heartache with him. My heart yearns for his touch, my lips thirst for his kiss, and my eyes want so desperately to be met with his.
{Grabs a knife} Oh dagger, please take this pain away from myself. Let it be known that I shed no more tears over this angel in my mind. For my heart can take no more of this pain. Let the coward that has left me feast upon my blood soaked garnishes and the floor be stained red with my love. For no one should ever have to go through this torment any longer.
{Raises knife above heart} Take this life back from whence it came; for a demon posses it now. I no longer live to see the sun rise over the hills, the trees have lost their color to me, and there is no meaning to the idea love. Love is the very poison from the goblet I drink from, I tasted it like a sweet summer wine. Now, let it pour from me as I take what I no longer want. Send this bleeding heart back to Hell.
{Descends knife and pierces through her breast.}
{Enter Narrator}
Narr. Thus falls the poor demented soul. T' was love from another that caused this demise. And love that had grown over time. Now, a heart no longer beats, a memory is forgotten, and another takes the place of Miss Cassandra.
{curtain falls; lights dim}
