Happy Is a Problem
Happy is the closed eye
Sleeping ever so peacefully
Deep in the six feet underneath
No longer anything i can see
Or be
Least of all alone me
Staring up at the leaves
Barely clinging onto it's tree
Chomping on old wedding cake
4 or 5 year's out of date
That ended up in divorce court
Which neither party contested or fought
So much for until death do us part
Which will only end up with our loved ones
If they can stop for a minute
Fighting over everything of worth
You left behind
That they can't claim for their own
That isn't nailed down
Even if that be simply a poem
Written for absolutely free
With your one final last remaining
Wish
Wanting the entire hole world
For it to see
Hoping it will live forevermore
And therefore outlast me
Until eternity
