Two faces of a joker

Your smell like a lingering song

I taste your every move as I recall,

And ask, where did I fail, where did I fall?

Last week my husband, my lover and my hope

Today you are the traitor on me the joke

For I am the fool who cry in the night

When our children pray for Daddy

as I turn out the light.

Souvenirs left behind in your haste

Two faces of a joker playing this game

Your touch just a memory while I whisper your name.

A charmer and a jester, a Casanova knight

Whose feet of clay who couldn't wait to take flight

From home and bills and a ball and chain

Why did you want me?

Why did you change my name?

I watch them grow older, happy and whole

These beautiful babies, my heart and my home

Then who is the joker, the fool, the insane

When they love me for ever and forgotten your name?
