Wishes
I wish I never had to wait
For anything at all,
I wish that what I wanted
Would just be there waiting for me
And I could pretend to be surprised
To make the game feel a little more
Like a game,
But I wish I had just to wish.
Instead, I wander
In sleep, through dreams
Peopling them with nothing more
Than wishes.
And sleeping days away, to stay
Where dreams are prettier.
Where I'm prettier.
Were I never to wake,
I can't see a problem,
And i'd have my wishes.
There wouldn't be anymore melancholy
Over things that are just wishes,
That will never happen.
That I'm left looking at through
Double-paned glass
With a pained expression on my face.
Because sometimes wishes, hurt.
Sometimes not having anything but wishes
Hurts.
