A/N: Written for the 100 Prompts challenge, #010 - happy.


don't notice a little longer

/2/

It was just so hard to hide
those emotions that were born
and things like fear was fire, it spread
without restraint, like the war
they'd been so tangled in, in the end.

Happiness, on the other hand,
is a different tale, a different thought -
it had no place in the current war, or peace
alone not content

But it couldn't be helped, and he hoped
they wouldn't notice, wouldn't tell.
He could go on being happy a little more.
Unless things could change...

But the thing about war was that things
only tended to change
for the worse.
