Happy Pills

There
are Pills
for that She
told Him that
would take away
the Edge So That Life
would no longer Be A Roller Coaster
Ride

And in a Moment
Every Shout
and Laugh and Kiss and Cry
and Pout
and Hug and Grin
and Sigh
flashed
before his
eyes.

Stunned,
he stopped
to wonder
Why
to all of That
She said Goodbye.

So he looked into
Her Eyes
And Saw
Her newly Vacant
Smile
And Decided

That He would
roll the dice-
and 

not 

Comply.

He thought:
Pills can only numb

and force choices
for just One-

and Happiness in

a Pill

was Not
for Him
to buy.

Her Happy Pills, 

you see, 

would just make him

Simply Be

like Someone Else,
Someone Safe,
for her to
try.
