My lonely friend (and the sadness of a clown)

by Unrequited   Apr 6, 2005


My lonely friend, i’m sorry this has to be
i wish you’d help me; i’m in pain, can’t you see?
you stare into me as your gaze scorches my eyes
if you’re going to kill me, first let me say my goodbyes

my lonely friend, i’m sorry for my sins
for all of my temptations to which i’ve given in
just strike me down, it’s what i deserve
to live anymore, i don’t have the nerve

take off that masque, let me see what you wish to erase
a sad and lonely clown, that’s not something i want to face
you live with such hatred, as you release it on me
it’s not me that you’re angry with, can’t you see?

take off that masque and live with nothing to hide
have the courage to deal with everything that hurts you inside
you may be sad now, but this does not have to be
you can enjoy life much more, just let your soul set you free

as for me, i do not have the courage to live, can’t you see?
i just want to die, and let the spyders pick at me
so please, my sad little clown, just take me to my end
i just hope you’re stronger than me, my sad and lonely friend

    It definitely has your personal touch...very unique...and interesting....the fourth stanza is inspirational but the rest is sort of disheartening...I think I can really relate to this one...I tell friends and other people to stay strong and to do all these things...when the truth is I haven't managed to do them myself...but somehow it's different... yeah, anyways, spectacular work.

    Slightly confusing, but I like that about it for some reason. I guess this is a personal poem, to which only you can know the true meaning [Unless you tell someone, in which case I shall hush my mouth.] Very unique though, very mysterious. You're a very creative writer, I'm adding you to my favourites :)

    Take good care of yourself.
    All my love,
    Laura.

    thank you for the comment, Heather. it means a lot. but, just to let you know, in all of my poems that i mention spiders, i spell it with a Y. i guess i do this to add my own little spin and personal touch to my work. i'm glad you caught it tho! hope you keep reading! Tom
