There is pain in the world
But we are loath to remind it
It’s easier to laugh at the jokes
He says in the car while you think of other things

To him you are a clock
Sitting beside him with safety
Tied between your breasts
With a brown belt and it shifts them

You have to understand that
To him you are a creation
A body of mass with wings he’ll never touch
Never know the beat of

To him there are things inside
You he can’t, doesn’t want to understand
All he appreciates are the moments
You so generously give

But I see the why you give
I notice the cover ups to cuts
That only you see in your room
Dancing to the music of not knowing why

interesting - makes me consider -

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
