The Clown
By gin69er
Whenever you see him he’s always laughing A smile eternally on his face Forever cracking jokes with friends It’s hard to keep up his pace But look behind that smile To his sad and empty life His smile is but a façade Since he lost his beloved wife He puts on his smile like makeup To hide how he really feels It’s only at her graveside That his true emotions are revealed For there he is sad and sombre Only there will he shed a tear For beneath the ground lays his life and his heart His pretences disappear So when you see him gaily laughing Don’t think him cold hearted and unfeeling For it’s not but a show that he puts on To hide how he’s really feeling….
