A Happy Lie

from the early notebook

Happiness makes no sense —
a quick-lived thought
becomes past tense.

It seems forever since we’ve fought,
the sickened feelings that you brought.

I want it all to go away,
to simply seize a perfect day.

But is this life just all for naught?
Does it all just have no meaning —
all just horrors that we’ve wrought
from selfish centers, evil gleaning?
