My breath catches as I struggle not to let the tears run down my face.
This facade am wearing is starting to crack, like the painting on the clowns face who has one more humorless joke to share.
The emptiness in his eyes as he struggles to catch the attention of his audience, is like the emptiness which continuously tortures my heart.
For I being in love, has forgotten the torturous pains it brings when reality starts to sink.
With the slowing of my heart, my breath struggles more, the blinking of the eye as it opens the flood gates to the tears that run down my face, as I realise I might be mistakenly in love.
