Hap(pain)ness

I've only ever made one wish-- for eternal happiness

Little did I know happiness had a price..

I felt love's blissful kiss

And his lips felt oh so nice

but the love had masked his chilled figure, contorted with daggers of ice.

 

I shrouded him with a heaven sent infatuation for as long as I could

but it was hard not to notice his twinking eye

that told me exactly where we stood

He took my hand in his and whispered his last hurtful lie

He looked me dead in the face and sweetly told me goodbye.

 

He swore he'd never hurt me, he swore me no pain

But he did all those plus more and took my love in vain

He grabbed his icy dagger and and drove it through my heart

If only I'd foreseen the ending from the very start.
