Happiness was only a word to me-
I'd forgotten it's definition.
I used to know what happiness meant;
Chocolate, bedtime stories, pretty princesses, love, and an unbroken spirit.
{But that was then}
All too soon,
The childhood happiness S M AS H ED into shreds of nothing but br o ke n memories.
Sca tt ere d, to/rn, l o s t, all out on the floor.
