Laughter up and ran away
Packed it's bags and headed on by
Didn't stop, didn't weigh
Didn't wait for further word
Laughter was sad; now how's that possible?
Heart was there, but never was heard
Heart was disguised in lofty talk
Heart was caught, but wouldn't be bought
That's why Laughter went for a walk
Laughter's been gone now for days and nights
Heart wants him back but there's not compromise
Every painful sentiment now all too thoroughly analyzed
Heart's don't live too long. . .when laughters gone
Heart began to get the chills
Began to freeze
To numb her ills
She moved to Alaska in search of a house
of ice but was stopped short of purchase
by two frosty eyes
She began to confide
though she'd really rather hide
This time Smile up and left her
Smile left her with a quick slice
And there was Heart with just two frosty eyes
And these eyes don't cry
Though they speak infinite words
Most of which Heart won't let be heard

words and storylines can cover so much of what is real. i loved the 'character' names you gave... and ya.. how can Laughter be sad? and why, oh why, won't Heart just let her words be heard? of course, it's harder to speak when a cold chill makes her shiver... and things break so much easier when cold sets in.
wow.. now i'm sad... and my eyes are frosty.
this was really good...

I truly hope that you will find your smile and laughter so that your heart may be warm once more. P.S. You didn't put "what hurts the most." in your author's comment box.
