Tears of a Clown

These
tears from a clown
Oh
so brought me down!
I
am now frowning, glowering, scowling
Oh
what a dam fool!
I
cried those tears over the years
They
brought me down!
Oh
what a silly foolish person I have been
I
can see the glowering, glaring, staring
Your
eyes never coming into contact
Oh
yes that is a fact!
Oh
what a dam fool!
You’re
sulking, skulking, lurking
Ways
all about, around you!
You
made me cry, fry, sigh
You
had me running around in circles
Here
we go around and around
Backwards,
forwards never towards
Leaving
me like a carousel empty
Emotionless,
defenceless, awkwardness
A
frightened, un-delighted, un-invited
CLOWN
you fool
Taken
for a ride, you hide, you bide
You
bade, you said, you laid
You
lied, oh how you cried, you chide
That
still resides
Oh
you fool just like a clown
The
tears, the fears, the years
The
love that was never there without a care
The
petals all withered and shaken
Why
bother with
She
loves me, she loves me not!
She
never loved me once and for all!
Period,
full stop
I
feel just like a fool
The
love I gave,
The
sacrifices
All
that mattered
Torn
and tattered
Matted!
Oh
well you say
Oh
and by the way
Adios
amigo
NOBODY’S
FOOL
