Hello Is Happiness

Four days.
For four days
I was happy.
Maybe
That is my limit.
Four days.
And then
It happens.
The crash.
The burn.
The fear.
The anger.
The bitterness.
The tears.
The walls.
Why the walls?
Why so high?
Why so thick?
Why so long?
Is it better
To wall up my heart
Then to be 
Walled off
From yours?
Hello
Is happiness.
Goodbye
Is death.
I have never
Felt a pain
Quite like silence.
So I am silent
To you
Before
You
Are silent
To me.


And that
Is still death.
Please,
If you can,
Climb a ladder,
Or fire a cannon.
Don't let me
Shut you out.
Don't let me 
Self destruct.
If you miss me,
I miss you too.

Hello
Is happiness.
Goodbye
Is death.
