when she was this happy
she knew it would be brief
she had learnt to keep it secret
not to smile too much
they all knew anyway
their incompleteness heightened
by her joy
sadly she had never managed
to build walls strong enough
to keep them out for long
dont want to ruin the happiness by spreading it around....or they will come jack it up....crabs in the pot...
ReplyDeleteWow. I understand this feeling, and you've expressed it so well. That last stanza says it all.
ReplyDeleteYes Victoria, those exquisite moments are in short supply and someone will deliberately spoil it for you if they can.
