Happiness Lies

I know
we
want the same thing.
I see it
in your eyes;
but misery talks,
and happiness lies.

Truth.

You seek it relentlessly
but rarely enjoy it 
when you find it stark
All you ever want to do 
is twist it until 
it falls apart
You do not care 
if it destroys a life
or breaks a heart
You hide it like something
shameful
in the quiet dark
but I see it 
shining there
like a tiny spark... 

Games

tired of trying
of believing in old lies
turning on my heel to run
running into what it belies...
all I am is in question
all I ask is truth in vain
all I want is to resurrect you
to make you whole again

I pull the pieces out
but they don't fit the same
never was much for the puzzle
and even less for the games...
