Pursuit of Happiness

Nothing like the pursuit of happiness
To generate sadness.
Expectations give way
To disappointment.
~
When there is no meeting
Of the mind
Confusion reins
And frustration rises.
~
When you try and try
Do everything that is asked
But leave out a little of this or that
And the little counts more then the whole.
~
When ten words brings an
Hour of berating.
Thing said last month are rehashed
And mixed with words a year old.
~
When the only word you wish to hear
Are, I love you.
Where any defense only begets
Anger and more harsh words.
~
Understandings lighten the load,
But cannot completely mitigate
The sadness
Left by the emptiness
~
Of the departed that
Walked away in anger
Without a word
And without concern.
