Missing You

It's a funny strange thing

When you're not around

Like the lack of a smile 

On a circus clown

Like a ferris wheel

With all empty seats

Or a candied apple

More tart than sweet

Or a merry-go-round

That looks kind of scary

Or that huge prize teddy

To big to carry

Like an amusement park

On a winters day

And as long as you're gone

That's the way it will stay
