happy things

It's the happy things

That make me cry

When they're within my grasp

And I let them pass by

Like wild game

I could never tame

I know better than to try

I can only watch them

Disappear within my mind

Though I couldn't be your other half

Nor the one to make you come

The ties are not undone

Like a lion fed

I will lay my head

On whoever's thighs are warm

It may not last forever

But it's hard to live alone

It's the happy things

Like holding each other tight

Or the kindness in the smile

A stranger gives sometimes

But when it comes of course

I'm like a frightened horse

I go kicking all around

I throw it off my back and

Watch it shatter on the ground
