Happiness Hurts Poem, by Kate, at My poetic side

Lindsey:

You’re gentle, judgemental,

A freak in sheep’s disguise

Yet in some ways you’re burdened by self sacrifice,

You’re obsessive, compulsive,

Afraid to let me go

You’re afraid of what’s left of you,

If you have not my hand to hold

You know I love you,

But it’s time to move on

Take a fall, and crash out, if I’m wrong

Be scared, I’ll hold you,

If again our paths may intertwine,

Someday you’ll see me smile,

But now is not your time

Katharine:

So I guess we have little left to say,

But happy hurt day,

Let’s eat our heart ache

We’ll bake ‘till we can’t feel

Lind’s eat your cupcake,

Made out of mistakes

Let’s wrap up what’s concealed

‘Cause it’s your birthday,

But not anymore

Since you chose the hurt held door

So happy hurt day,

Look, I baked you cupcakes

Blow out your candles,

Close the door
