I wanted to make them happy

I wanted to see them smile

Happiness has left

It’s been gone for a while

Afraid to see our tears

A slave to our own fears

Not sure where to go with life

Not sure what to do

I said I’d let you go

But I don’t want it to be true

I cry out to the dark and unknown

A place I want to call my own

While sitting all alone

Wishing to be happy

But not sure how

I’ll go back to trying to make them happy

At least just for now.
