punch line

27 2 3
                                    

wondering when this joke will end

waiting for the punch line, yet again

but I'd seen it coming, I knew why

like fireworks up in the night sky

in the end, we're just dying embers

burnt out to nothing, fading flickers

until i found out that it was me

i was the joke for everyone to see
