The Jester Poem by Danny Speicher

I wasn't looking for my forever
Though I had hoped it might forever be
But, absurd when you're you and I'm me
I'd still hoped for shortly over never

Time with you deepened my adoration
But, your time with me, drove a wedge straight through
Any love, any care, for me from you
Instead, you joined my current castration

I wish I could say it was a surprise
But, through your false pity and placation
Life's taught me to fear any sensation
And to wear this silly jester's disguise

For no one likes to see a grown man cry
No one cares to ponder the reason why
