CURSED

2 1 0
                                    

This pain that's clenching my heart has no name

This ghostly thing comes out of thin air

Bringing tears to the most beautiful of my banquets

Pinning the taxes to the smiles that were spent recklessly.

It would crush my last bit of hope and retreat when I give up.

What follows is a gray state where I sit and rot for days

And when I finally pull up and try to make some good days

it will be lurking around waiting for the right moment...

The moment where I'd be most delighted

At that moment it will come chanting its curses with a smiling face

And watch me weep on my supposedly happiest day.
