Harlequin

With a word become estranged

You believed a lie that kept you going all this time

Cast a shadow, shed a tear and defect all that you have ever known

You wanted this, then prayed for this

Kept this dream alive

Then were sad to find that low and behold I awaited you

I abandoned you when the pieces did not fit

Who's sacrifice was this? Laugh as you think

Laugh as you fade into this world, so untamed

To seek the answers

To the questions that remained

Trying to adjust to this world

I am so afraid

Even though I was the one

Growing weaker every day

You were the one that caved

You were the light from flame

Kept all of these tears that you found, but I won't

This is my hell and you are not invited

What else did you find? Hid the simple truth

From an unsuspecting mind

Laugh as you think how you are out of lies

Now the smiling face it must suffice

The face I cannot resist

Laugh as you think, laugh as you fade into this world, so afraid

Gutted, beaten, cored, staring down the hole for what's misplaced

Mask has been destroyed, falling down the hole is your disgrace

Want this, loathe this, want is the need to explain

Want this, loathe this, how you loathed the pain

World with no god, without expectancy

Tear strips and watch you fold, the only certainty

Laugh as you think, laugh as you fade into this world

So untamed

Where it all but seems you have lost your way

They know you are a fake

Without warning it came

Despite trying in vain

But you never did try and now it is too late

To solve this mystery

There is one piece missing
