fickle: not lasting; unpredictable
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

happiness, a nine letter word
holds a deepest meaning
fickle emotion, sometimes
lasting forever
blowing dandelions or reaped fruit

luring oneself into a trap
seeded by expectations
ripped in a minute
letting you question
do you really deserve to feel it?

is it a crime to seek out
a pinch of happiness on my hands
why it is always snatched
from my grasp
upon being close to achieve
or hoped by all means

i think there's some fault in me
good days ain't for me
solace is long forgotten
cause' i ruin everything near me
people, dreams or my fate

persistently bruised my heart
demands a concrete answer
from me this time
after all, how much this
fragile wonder can take
