No More Laughter Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

This was before.
This was after.

Swallowing the last bit of daily laughter.

This was before.
This was after.

As if that is all that matters.

Down the scope
Watch from afar.
As if your looking at a very distant mars.
Try to understand.
Try to comprehend.
Pity mixed with envy.
Oh why can't that be me.
Lighting up the dormant city.
A party flavor to savor.
So sour, so bitter.
Just give me a litter glitter.

This was before.
This was after.

Swallowing the last bit of the daily laughter.

This was before.
This was after.

As if it's all that really matters.

Hope of the bitter unopen rose.
Dressed up in golden sleves.
A perspective stuck on repeat.
So dosed on a pucker of an unknown lover.
Just exactly who is she?
As if a definitive answer of the uninvited will make you any more delighted.
Under christmas sits a photograph full of presents.
It's all the wishes that never came true.
And I remember, the question is do you?

This was before.
This was after.

Swallow the last bit of the daily laughter.

This was before.
This was after.

As if its all that really matters.

Please jot it down for all of eternity.
It still means nothing to me.
The dance is already over.
The chance is already gone.
Trapped inside my own head.
Welcome to my prison.
Go ahead and try to break free.
See if you can see things any differently.
Bouncing back, but the heart is just no longer into it.

This was before.
This was after.

A daily dose of diaster when swallowing such bitter laughter.

Yes this was before and after.

And it couldn't go any faster.
