laugh

"that used to make you laugh."

well, i was frustrated with never knowing.
with hearing you say one thing, hiding behind yourself.

I'm sorry that i didn't laugh,
or perhaps i apologize that i did.

for none should laugh unless they mean it.

laughter is more powerful than tears.

how then, shall i make you laugh?
how then, shall we brings smiles to our faces?

a midst adversity, and quandery, and findings-out, and fighting doubt,

how do i let you know

I am here

to be your friend,
           not a fiend,
       or your fire

but simply to be

and beat

what we have

to get through.

all i want
is be a team.

let's laugh,
and not take ourselves too seriously.
