Analysis of Happy With Another
Broken hearted eyes staring,
Searching for the lost perfection that was once seen,
"Don't let me go" she mutters through trembling lips,
Her hands shaking,
Like a volcano gone mad collecting corpses of lost love in its ashes,
A beautiful disaster.
I see a broken shell,
The superior form left with nothing but emptiness,
Alone like a root she stands there,
No longer fed by the warmth of my breath,
The night will keep her company, the stars that once shined for us,
Duller than once before,
Blurred horizon wiped away with tears of her soul,
Her eyes filled with broken water.
Remember me, the times we laughed in love,
Smile at me through those heart broken eyes,
Let us live with our eyes closed and travel passed the white line,
Birds hung in the horizon, Christmas decorations on an abandoned home,
Reflections of happiness left to resonate alone.
Goodbye my Daisy, once a glimpse of forever,
Now a winter horizon, wild and free,
For you we're a snowflake destined to melt away in my hands,
Follow the wind my dear and be,
Be happy with another.
