I Wish

I wish that I wasn't venomous That my lips weren't laced with poison So that I could kiss you without feeling guilty I wish that my love had value Not the fools gold that you treated like treasure So that you could live not like a peasant, but a king I wish that I wasn't made of sweet cotton candy lies That I could feed your soul instead of sending it on highs then sudden sugar crashes So that I could hold you without worrying you'll starve I wish I was pure Not tainted by my mother's mistakes and a stranger's fingers So that I could be the lover you deserve I wish that the voices in my head were silent That they didn't whisper the same things over and over So that I could belong to you and not the darkness that hides in my past I wish that you hadn't left me That you still held me when I cried So that I wasn't so alone I wish
