Night at the Circus

TTEUK

 

Every year was like a night at the circus.

Filling the void, who knew it'd curse us.

 

It was bright, colourful, shiny, and fun,

But then you start to lose everyone

 

The circus was now in black and white.

The ones that left still expect us to fight.

 

Standing behind the curtains in a jittery mess

Who can ignore? For they knew best

 

The acts go on but they're not quite right.

The days pass okay but there’s not much light.

 

The circus is grey, it seems almost numb,

Who knew how soon to nature you would succumb?

 

We used to party way into the night,

And I hated admitting that you were right.

 

Yet We continue to push that boulder up that cliff,

With friends, drugs and a drink that's stiff.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This was written for the love of my life, the best man I will ever meet, the one who looks at you in a way that you are perfectly understood, and perfect within your own imperfections. Until I had met Jason Henderson, I did not know love, and until the day he died I did not know real pain. I wrote this perhaps two years since his passing.
