fear of happieness

I am the monster who crushes what is bright
burning happiness with delight
in my slumber snores and snares
even nightmares are bewares
of those dark and dancing steeds
who from my mind doth havok wreak
upon this land safe harbor we seek
with miles to go before i wake
and miles before my happiness can take
hold beneath the sun
and blossom like a flower on the run
but i fear
that in my sleep the steeds will rear once more
and trample all beauty to the floor
