The Clown

By BadKharma

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Like a puppet danced around on a string, you controlled my every movement. Walked me along your twisted plot, comic, tragic and romantic... Like a fool I worshipped your every word, was easily decieved by your lies. Sacrificed everything in the pursuit of your every dream... Like a mime I stood trapped in a box, beating my fists against the glass. I searched franticly for release, as you watched my silent screams... When the show was over, you tossed me away. I fell upon the earth, like a crumpled ticket stub. Written February 23rd, 2002 © on Feb 23 2002 09:40 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
