I wear the jesters hat no more,
The clown who made you laugh with her mirth,
Is walking out the door,

The character that I have always played,
Is no more my want or need,
My love for you, I am afraid is through,
You became selfish and full of greed,

My life is like the big top,
Like a circus with three rings,
It gave me sadness heartache and depression,
I was your puppet on a string,

The tightrope that you made me walk,
I failed with every step,
Your hand you held out to save me,
Is no longer my safety net,

This love has gone, it can't go on,
I am trapped on a carousel,
I want it to stop, I want to get off,
For its become just a living hell,

This jester can no longer paint on a smile,
No longer can she just pretend,
I am feeling down, cry the tears of a clown,
This circus has come to an end,

Oh sue .. this was an incredible metaphor. And you have
done an amazing job of it ~

Very sad and forlorn. I hope better days to follow you, my friend.
Bursting with emotions and strong conviction!!

Sue,
you captured so many emotions throughout.
Though you penned through sadness your inner strength and beauty shine on and I wish you happiness around the corner my friend,
~Michelle~
