Living The Life Of A Clown Poem by Patricia Kelley

He lies to himself not admitting his own conceit.
He was the one that brought her down.
Living the life of a clown,
Spending his nights' drinking his beer.
He made it real clear.
She wasn't woman enough to satisfy a drowning man.
Drowning in self piety,
She felt no piety.
For the drowning man that lived his life as a clown.
Putting his own needs first,
For his needy dying thirst,
He was a real flirt.
Flirting with drugs that altered his behavior,
She cried out for her Savior.
Crying out for a different life,
Not to be this man's wife.
Giving up on life!
She walked out the door.
With a heavy heart she fell to the floor.
Never to rise,
Never to see real love's eyes.
She died from a broken heart.
Because of a man living his life as a clown.
