Your Happiness Thrives On My Sorrow

March 13, 2008
By Anonymous

Your happiness thrives on my sorrow and I’ve shed all my tears,
But there is still more anguish to come,
So can I borrow some of yours?

You know,
The tears you hide behind your glazed over eyes,
The ones who are absent-minded to the fact that streams pour from my own?

The streams that flood the pores,
And destroy the prosperous crops of my self-esteem.

But it is not my own flooding,
It’s your treacherous thunder and perpetual rain,
That lessens the factors of my being.

So is there a reason for being,
Besides living in your torment?
