I wish

I wish

I wish I was better, but never, but never,

Will I ever be better if I’m not with you.

I wish forever that Heaven was never,

So far out of reach when I need to be though.

I wish this life didn’t have so much strife,

When I’m lacking a light to shine down on me.

I wish the knives were not pointing at mirror eyes,

Being held behind lies of a man of misery.

I wish I was free, but that will never be,

Because all I believe is the total deceit.

I am trapped in this being, always dreaming of seeing,

But always so blind to a utopian dream.

I wish I could talk, like I was wielding a sword,

But I am too lyrically weak to stop you being bored;

So I will take this door and close it behind,

Desperately hoping you walk through it, through kind.

I wish I was you, just to not be me,

But that will never be; I am not that clean.

I wish you were dirty, so I could be flirty,

But it is too early to speak of such things.

I wish you were near, so you could hear,

My pitiful cry for sympathy.

I wish you were here, to be my seer.

I wish you could show me it will get better.

I wish you could show me how to see.
