its always better


the morning after
the pain makes an escape
with your dreams
and you remember neither

the tears are tired
from crying you to sleep
and refuse to be seen
this early in the day

your feelings have gone home
to their wives and children
so no one was on duty
to make misery do his job

misery is on hiatus
and has asked happiness
to step in
and bring smile along.

It wasn't said by me, but my favorite quote is: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." - Brendan Francis
