Let me see you frown
Let me see you smile
A light has drawn across
Beating down on your restless head
There is nothing left
Of that dream we had.
I count how many times
I have nearly died
Keeping you tight to my chest
Fighting with bloodied fists
And drenched in regret
I'm not your saviour
I'm just your clown.
I see a twinkle in your eye
Glistening like frosty stars
That gives me chills
And some will to survive
The onslaught of demons
That cry in my head of lies.
I seek response
From the busker on the street
He sings a sweet sweet song
But doesn't acknowledge me
He's my son.
My heart is a natural disaster
Waiting to explode and to make
The wall blacker
I keep it in just to keep myself alive.
I'm a joker
But tonight I feel afraid
That I might disown her
This poetic verse full of bleakness.
That sweet sweet song!
