a sad clown

i tear and i don't know why,
i let out this long sigh,
i look to see,
and i know that it will never be,

i am foolhardy to believe,
naive to think it true,
it was never meant to be,
and now i can see,

one cannot make what doesn't exist,
to hope is to live in vain,
a price i have paid,
and now i lay it all in the grave,

the painted smile gone,
tears the only mark on my face,
laugh at the fool now,
i the court jester down,

i open my eyes one last time,
to see the beauty i thought mine,
i tear and i know why,
i simply sigh as the light slowly dies,
