your current state of mind

there are various
forms
of laughter.
the belly laugh, the scoff,
the giggle,
the roar
with mouth open
and tears
falling, but
why don't you laugh
anymore?
it seems as if
you've taken
levity
completely out of your
repertoire.
not a funny bone is found
inside you.
glum
is your current state of
mind.
no longer
can i juggle balls
in the air, 
or do somersaults
and tricks
to put a smile on your face.
my jokes fall flat
to the floor.
what once put joy in your
life is over. 
kaput.
apparently
i've become such a bore.
or were
you faking it all that time,
all those laughs?
