Happy Am I

Happy am I
Sadness filters through my open window like unwelcome sunlight
Leave me alone
Let me decay in my misery
Like a forgotten rotting corpse
Let my muscles seize and my eyes turn to glass
Let me wander the summer streets in search of my lost soul
Let me turn to dust
Like fleeting memories of school days past
I'd say I'd whisper to you to let you know I'm there
But that would be a lie
I'll pass through your dreams
Like an old favorite song
Try to remember those fond spring nights
