Avoiding Happy
as happiness avoids me
you leave with her
the one
and you plot
to entreat yourself to friged abandonments
and you still ask
"do i trust you?"
and seem surprised
when i say no
you pretend sadness
and sorrow
but you dont understand
you have never known those true feelings
you act like the wounded man
like you need protection
weaving your sunlit
starry web
you crave her warmth
as i constantly know
you show the obvious with an obvious grin
and yet i cant help but think
that loyalty will follow her
and love will warn her
in the presence of white marble pillars
i dont know if she loves me
and still i trust he more than myself
i cant stop
unthinkable logical falsehoods
persuade my mind
of otherwises
and other ties
you lied and cheated
to win her heart
when i failed with sincerity
i dont understand
i showed her love
and you restorativly remove her stare
