My Substitute

Aa Harvey

My substitute

 

 

If I was to be published then I would have no need for a wish.

If I held my own book in my hands,

Then that would mean that I had accomplished something.

If you were able to feel my poetry,

Then you would find me smiling.

I would always be smiling when I met up with you;

If only I could be worthy of loving.

If I ever succeed, then please accept a thank you from me.

If I never make it, then my existence will have counted for nothing.

 

 

Only time will tell if I ever did anything right.

With you on my side, I will at least have an eye,

On my future writing; you are my reason to try.

I hope one day I will be able to write something that everybody likes.

 

 

Fly on a wire; dance on the moon.

Sky dive into a career; parachute.

Become a light up in the sky.

Your name in brights; I love seeing through your mind’s eye.

You see all that I could be;

You believe in me like I never did.

I hope I do not disappoint;

All I have ever been is me.

 

 

Now through rose-tinted eyes I look at life.

So sad to be lost without a wife.

The one thing I always wanted, I will never have…

Please do not be sad.

I am where I am meant to be.

I may not have love,

But I love poetry…

It is my substitute for love and all other things.
