I was happy once,

I recall the ache of too much

laughter

.

Where did that all go?

.

All those years ago

.

Did I not deserve more?

.

Was there sin of

karmic proportions?

.

I was unaware then; loitering,

walking down a path

not meant for me

.

Ending up here; alone,

where happy is a word

in a dictionary

I do not own

.

sadly

.
