The World Loves a Clown

You came upon me Late last night Whimpering, Whistling, Whispering. Threatening those I love I know it was you I still have your foot steps on my back. Pretend I didn't see you Is that how you wish It to be? I will not stand nor lie for it. I heard your voice On the wind and it shifted My hair and your wicked laughter damn near killed me. The queen is risen If only in your wretched mind Dancing in the graveyard Prancing through yesterday Juggling your lies. Funny, though, they fell On your face and splattered In your eyes, your sweet bitterness laced eyes Oh how they fell. There are secrets we both Share only you and I And I can tell that you Wish I would go away And I would...if you'd let go. I tried to fix the world Just for one damn gray day But you? You came in with your Unusual gait thinking your straight. How do you think you will do it? Everything going to plan? Fifty days later You Still Don't Understand. [and the biggest secret is you never will] Cows don't jump over the moon But you moon over yourself Get the hell over yourself you are not diary. No body wants you. No body advertises in commercials saying stupid lines such as: "Got Lies?" That is your produce In your grocery store of maggot laced fortune cookie lies and half-truths. Your head, my dear Is not the sun nobody wants to revolve around the likes of you. You and your Will work for insanity sign. All the while... The world laughs at you! [after all the world does love a clown.]
