GIVING UP ON HAPPINESS

Promises fall to the floor like pieces of my skin and pieces of my blood.
My hair has frayed like the feathers of a carrion bird,
and I'm left watching the harrowed floor through a pair of hollowed eyes.

Am I to live my life through a pair of binoculars?
Or am I to live my life through a pair of legs?

I'm not searching for happiness anymore.
I gave up on that a long time ago,-
I will live life in my daydreams.
