Harlequin Girl

Harlequin Girl

Harlequin girl with a smile on her face
such an amusing story she tells.
The life of the party is her calling
Joie de vivre is what she sells.

Harlequin girl
with the beautiful eyes
comedy and laughter
her tricks of the stage
Her euphoric air
will intoxicate you
breathing life into
this dreary age.

Harlequin girl
hides behind a mask
brilliant colors
adorned with jewels.
A facade that keeps
the demons at bay
turning all believers
into fools.

Harlequin girl
wipes the makeup away
revealing her true face
behind the veil
Somber and quiet
a mysterious soul
Contrasted with
an opposite shade of pale

Harlequin girl with nothing left to hide
all alone she's a sad little clown
Diamond tear drops run down her cheeks
as she sings a velvet ballad through her frown
