I’ve never made you laugh
but I wish that I knew how to
I’m just too clumsy to be a comedian
I always fumble with my words
at the beginning of the joke
tripping over the fear
that you might not laugh
leaving me alone
in an overcrowded room of regret
Yet you’ve given me a stage and a mic
so I can prove myself wrong
with you sitting there
in the front row of empty seats
I can see you wearing a smile
that sends a tsunami wave through my chest
as I’m left standing there drenched
with my heart lost at sea
telling jokes about love... is not easy
