Happiness

• Artist: Tasariel
• Description: This is about substance abuse.
  Obviously the speaker is upset that someone they love (family member) is into this stuff.
  A lot of emotion went into this.
  I think it speaks for itself.

How does that make you happy?
I thought you loved me.
You always said you did.
But you love that more, don’t you?
You love what it can give you
That I cannot.
I tried so hard,
I loved you with every beat of my tiny heart.
But it never made any difference, did it?
I never really made a pulse on the surface
Of what you call emotions.
You can’t claim to love me,
When you keep doing this to me,
To yourself.
I asked you once,
Do I make you happy, do I make you proud?
You answered that I did,
But I don’t believe you.
If I truly made you happy,
If I truly made you proud,
You wouldn’t need this addiction to make you happy.
Is this really what you want?
To be alone with your only true happiness?
The happiness I can’t give you,
The happiness without effort,
Without love.
