Benevolent Jester

Capering dervish spin me around...
free my feet from solid ground.
Delight entangled with despair,
coaxing me deeper into its lair.
Hold close your mask of gayety
that no eyes your dark evil will see.
Wear his face to taunt my heart,
making me regret out being apart.
Secret truths shall stay unspoken,
for t’was more than heart was broken.
Bones will heal, though not well...
heart will dance forever in hell.
