Harlequin

Harlequin

A Poem by VitalianRose
"

"Do you know what a harlequin is? A harlequin's role is to serve. It's nothing without a master. No one gives two s***s who we are, beyond that." - Harley Quinn

"
I thought you were good
I saw the child inside that you hid
And you told me you never would
But over and over it's farewell you bid
You leave me with wishes
You drowned my hope
Now I sleep with the fishes
I don't believe I'll ever cope
You left without a word
Took what you wanted then drifted away
Yet my whole world is still blurred
I still can't believe you'd ever betray
You call I'd answer and perform a show
I still follow your wishes as my master
Hoping one day you will come and never go
Even though I know you always end with disaster
Still I stand as your harlequin doll
Executing your wishes and hoping you see
Hoping you come back and to me will call
Because with you I feel free
But you're gone with someone new
I'm sitting here still stuck on a joker
I bet you don't even have a clue
That without you life's mediocre
Even after you break my heart
Took your prize and vanished into air
I can't stop feeling you're my missing part
But I doubt you even slightly care
So why do I still follow
Why do I still listen
When I am so hollow
There's nothing I can find bliss in
Why am I still your stupid harlequin...

About
Just another harlequin, performing for the world, hoping that things get better. I write to vent and get my thoughts out of my head because the longer they stay there, the louder they get. more..
