Words of Death

"I just want you to be happy"

What those words say:

Your smile is a trophy

Your frown disturbs me

Your laughter flatters my ego

Your tears aren't needed here

Remain with me in delusion

Don't make me upset

"I just want you to be happy"

What they don't say:

I want you to grow with me

I want you to be authentic

Your pain is a part of you I embrace

Your tears water our hope

Your ups are to be celebrated and in some ways even your downs

For they shape you into an instrument of morphosis

Let's play together in this band called Life

Our reality is an eternal blank cheque

Good write but felt it's dark, right?

I was in a toxic emotionally abusive relationship for over 9 years (unaware I was a victim). Early on when we started having problems, I asked her what her hopes, dreams, and ambitons were (so I could better support her). Her answer was "I just want you to be happy".  The following years defined those words as thriller-dark, yes.
