this is it
this is happiness

starlit lakes and starlit eyes
soft fingers tangled through mine
rose petals and dewy perfume
heavy kisses beneath the moon
'good night love' 'sleep well my dear'
burning love and growing fear
shattered hearts and tearstained cheeks
missing warmth under the sheets
crooked smiles, no one can see
a crossed out heart carved in a tree

this is it
this is happiness?
