No happy endings

There are no happy endings
Such things do not exist
Love, life, hope and dreams
Crash and burn in bitter death
We have but this one moment
It must be savored, treasured deep
Held fast in heart and mind
Too soon comes our eternal sleep
Our now must be filled with joy
With the bitter and the sweet
A child’s laughter, a woman’s kiss
Tender moments of ecstasy and bliss
Too quickly do such wonders fade,
Become nothing more than memories dust
There are no happy endings
Such things do not exist
Love, life, hope and dreams
Crash and burn in bitter death
