Happiness is
                     the shards of glass piercing     my feet as I walk on them.
          your ******* story
                  painted with poison
injected with ink
so your name will forever             dance across my skin
                                                        ratt­le in my bones
                                                        lin­e my longing lips.
Happiness is
                         forgetting who I am for a moment
              then remembering I never was
You make me forget the
               crushed seashells in my palms
            demons hiding behind my smile
               turbulence in my brain, 
     ready to sputter out of control
Happiness is
            the way you take control of this airplane
    steady me out
           smooth it over
make me angry
Happiness is
           socially acceptable madness.
            That's why I am so
madly in love with you
          and that's perfectly fine with me.
