I Wish

I wish I wish I was better, but never, but never, Will I ever be better if I’m not with you. I wish forever that Heaven was never, So far out of reach when I need to be though. I wish this life didn’t have so much strife, When I’m lacking a light to shine down on me. I wish the knives were not pointing at mirror eyes, Being held behind lies of a man of misery. I wish I was free, but that will never be, Because all I believe is the total deceit. I am trapped in this being, always dreaming of seeing, But always so blind to a utopian dream. I wish I could talk, like I was wielding a sword, But I am too lyrically weak to stop you being bored; So I will take this door and close it behind, Desperately hoping you walk through it, through kind. I wish I was you, just to not be me, But that will never be; I am not that clean. I wish you were dirty, so I could be flirty, But it is too early to speak of such things. I wish you were near, so you could hear, My pitiful cry for sympathy. I wish you were here, to be my seer. I wish you could show me it will get better. I wish you could show me how to see.
