The Midnight Wish

I thought I’d take this moment to express a dear old wish
t\'was lost not so long ago over one love and one kiss.
I know you’ll never know my cry, but know that you are missed
If only you knew that at one point, you were my only bliss.

You held me when I needed to, you held me when I cried
you pulled me from the deepest waters in which I wanted to die.

You told me I would win one day
and that I didn’t believe
but little did I know I’d taste it the day I saw you leave.

Despite all of the love I had I told you my goodbye.
But little did I realize the gun I brought
that triggered that  sorrowful tear
which slowly swelled up in your eye.

I broke you in a painful way, as did you to I.
My chest hurt deep and it damaged me
to a point beyond repair, but when I finally let you be
I brought along my hatred, and my grief.

I decided life was over, I had just enough
I showed that I was weak, when things got really tough.
I broke you in a painful way, but surely you know why?
You broke me in a painful way that made me want to die.

It was the day I lost my love, despite my saying goodbye
and on that unloved day my soul did surely cry.
I told you I was letting go and surely you never cared
that was the second time I lost you, the one I never shared.

Time went on like a ticking clock
I wanted nothing more to stop
but when I stood there at the edge
I decided I should not.

I ran away so quickly, then  I fell upon my knees
all that pain swelled in my eyes stinging like some bees.
I shed a tear, or two, or three
and when those tears were shed my scars were all set free. 


My eyes did hurt from weeping,
so much I didn’t see
the sun around the clouds peeping in at me.

The brightest rays engulfed me
an envelope so fair
I found a moment of peace despite all my despair.

I watched my life untangle
into something new
 it became a beautiful flower in the spotlight of high noon.
And after a greater time had passed like a tree it grew,
 my heart opened up again despite the things I knew.

My memories so painful,
But somehow I just knew
that maybe on another day I\'d have my wish
I\'d find a love like you.
