Happiness hides under the bed
Where I dropped it one day
As I collapsed down on the mattress
Reading your text at the end of the day

"It's not you it's me
I can hardly breathe
But we need to part ways"
Is what he says

I cried and cried
My happiness lost
Under my bed it sits
Getting moldy and rots

Today I decided
You would affect me no more
I am trying to really get over you, boy
I'm trying to mend the heart you tore

While cleaning out my life
Of friends and family I don't need
Today I looked under my bed
My happiness was there and it pleads

"I know he hurt you
But you need me more than him
Please leave your thoughts behind
For your lost happiness has dimmed"

I picked it up and looked it over
It was changed from years of loneliness
I shake my head and tired it appears
Cracked and dry from weariness

My happiness is not the same
It is anerexic and mad
Not whole anymore
Not the same as it had

So I set my happiness down
And shoved it back under the bed
I will find a new happiness
To use instead
