In the heart of the midnight circus,
Where dark truths and whispers surface,
Lies a twisted tale of love and fright,
Of a heart that's been wronged, ready to fight.
Once you led me through the halls,
Of laughter masked by carnival calls.
Emotional rides, up and down,
Lost in your circus, a broken clown.
But now the tables have surely turned,
The lessons given have been learned.
The ringleader now holds the reigns,
In this circus of haunted pains.
Step right up to the Endless Wheel,
Where secrets spin and truths reveal.
Mirror Maze of shattered trust,
Reflects a heart that's turned to rust.
The Ferris Wheel now moves so slow,
Each creak a whisper, a tale of woe.
Up you go, to the highest peak,
To see the love you dared to seek.
Clowns of sorrow, jugglers of lies,
Perform under the moonlit skies.
Cotton candy of bitter taste,
Memories lost, dry funnel cake.
Come to the House of Empty Dreams,
Where echoes of the past still scream.
Hallways of regrets and fears,
Wet with the sting of fallen tears.
The roller coaster's final scream,
Awakens you from this cruel dream.
The ride of losing me, your scariest yet,
A twisted ending you won't forget.

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is about reclaiming power from an ex, portrayed by a haunted circus. I feel like it's time for me to take back control after being on his emotional roller coaster. Sending my ex on a haunted ride of his own that losing me for good is the scariest ride of all. 🎢🎭 I also just finished reading Haunted Hallows a book by Jodie King which inspired me on the circus theme.
