I’ve taken the same ride too many times.
I could fall asleep in the loop.
I know the clowns wipe the fake, makeup smiles off their faces once the show is done.
I know the lions sleep in cages at night.
I know the tightrope walkers have blisters on their feet.
I know the ringmaster doesn’t believe in what he yells to the crowd anymore.
I know the strongman, isn’t as strong as he once was.
I know the candy floss has always been, just sugar and air.
You are the only reason I come back here every night.

This is AMAZING :)
If only everyone loved how we do..........
If they could see the world the way we do...
You write ever so wonderfully.
Your work, everything, is beautiful. Where your mind roams is simply baffling.
this is SOO beautiful
You make my breath stop and render me speechless... but I go looking for you daily.
"I’ve taken the same ride too many times.

I read this to him, static crackling.
I tried to make him see.
He didn't.
how kind.
"the lions sleep in cages at night" is what got me. Wow.
Fog Haze That Protects The You From The Me.
We know too much, and now everything has lost it's shine. While you've long gone, chased away by the mundane, I find myself returning every now and then - to what's familiar and comforting.
this is beautiful.
Oh wow ... Your way of writing is a blessing to the poetic world.
It's all an illusion. Just like me.
