Happiness doesn't last forever

What happens next?
The fake smile’s exposed
What happens next?
Now the world knows your mind is taking painful blows
What happens next?
When the one thing that could heal any wound is dormant
What happens next?
The only medicine for your illness has lost its potency
What happens next?
Your train hasn’t been wrecked but obliterated
I’ll tell you what happens next
You get fucked over, that’s what happens next

    What happens next may suck, but it makes for some pretty beautiful poetry.
