My Last Parade

A Poem by Rogerh

It hard living a facade life.

My Last Parade

Take me to my last parade

So I can wear my masquerade

So everyone can see who I am not

That my heart is full of naught

Clowns will laugh at me as they pass

Inviting me to join their cast

My tears of pain I will cover with paint

I will use it as my feint

No one will ever see inside

The person I was has died

All from the lack of love from you

I will live and die in solitude

Just another performer in the parade

Playing a happy lover's charade
