Dying Wishes

If I had a dying wish Your pain would exist no more All the agony would ease, diminish The withdrawals would quickly finish Hoping you'll remember what you started for You're inside there, little glimpses We make plans but it seems you forget If only there was another detour Can you hear me calling? unfinished business A different life fills my mind in illustrations Holding you close while your tears pour You were healthy, I saved old pictures When you're sick I lie awake and feel your twitches Your friends call trying to score Trying so hard to let go, bad fixes Pieces are scattered like broken dishes Stuck inside a self inflicted war If I had a dying wish You'd save yourself from all of this

So, so sad and, seemingly, so heartfelt that I wonder if you’ve been through such heartbreak, Bianca. I would like to think this is a fictional write but either way, it certainly hits home. A marvellous write. Terry
