Returning Wish

I threw a penny down a wishing well But I didn’t make a wish I was returning a wish I had been holding onto this penny for awhile Thinking that my wish would return back to me But that’s not how life works A wish only has so much life to it I wish it could be eternal I wish it could last as long as time But it doesn’t It can’t It won’t Sadly my time with my wish ran out It was a grand time A life that I wish I could relive every day Just once more to feel the embers before they became ash once more Just once more to feel my pocket vibrate from a notification from a person that had a picture for their contact Just once more to feel the pulses of our bodies merge into one as our fingers intertwine Just once more for our planets to reside in the same solar system But my luck ran out The hands of time slowed down The sand in the hourglass finally stopped trickling down That’s when the penny started to rust That’s when you started to look different from the day we met You looked more in pain than you ever had You looked beautiful as you stood there drawing out the love we shared from my veins I don’t regret anything I regret not being the perfect Knight in your fairytale For a Knight dressed in black, I only slay my allies not my enemies I hope wherever you are Wherever you go Whoever you meet You’ll find a home You’ll find warm hands and a soft shoulder to rest your head You’ll find a heart pure, untainted by horrors and sin I return this wish to the wishing well Hoping that it will do you some good, as it did with me before.
