Here's my poem for April 1st - what do you think?

Question:I guess I'll be your April fool
For yet another year
And you can trick the happiness
From my every tear

You know that I will always fall
Into your jester arms
There is no way I can escape
From your crooked charms

Here comes your custard pie
Thrown plum into my pride
I don't want to be your clown
But I just can't wipe you from my eyes

I guess I'll be your April fool
And hang my head in shame
Every time you lift my hopes
Then laugh them down again

I can feel you pick the thread
And tug apart my seams
Then I see you pull the rug
From underneath my dreams

Here comes your custard pie
Thrown plum into my pride
I don't want to be your clown
But I just can't wipe you from my eyes
(Lord only knows how much I've tried)

I could not bare to be without
Your lark inside my heart
So I guess I'll be your April fool
Like I was from the very start.

Very very well done. Good rhyme scheme, the poem flows well. A sweet, tender and gentle expression of selfless love with a sprinkling of naughtiness. Good luck and God bless. Keep writing :-)

This works well. Great song lyrics, too.

Very good! Sad story.

Ah wow... i really really felt this... excellent! i enjoyed it alot!
i love the irony of the fun and games and light heartedness associated with april fools, but yet you are using this to describe sadness/betrayel/dissapointment.
