Happy Daggers
dreams and anguish bring us together
you are the happy dagger that hacks and stabs at my demons
that beloved poison that makes my nightmares into pleasant dreams of the future
dreams are what we share
however
often times it seems those dreams bring an edge to that happy dagger
an edge that strays from the demons and into my hand
a foul mixture in the poison that warps a smile before my dreams into homicidal malevolence
and by no hands but ours
we breed our own malcontent
and cover it up with layers of promises and loose ends
but do not fret
things like these are made sweeter by those layers
things like these are made better with hope
it is true these things are not written in stone
its not because its not to happen
we just know stone is too inflexible to possibly fit our ever expanding dreams
paper is where we place our plans
hope is what fuels our furious scrawling
dreams and anguish may bring us together
and happy knives and sleep easing potions may run rampant
but hope and the little things keep us where we are
happy
and struggling forward
chasing our horizons
and knowing there is more to come
all that stands between us is time
and you know i dont mind the wait...
