I Wish I Had
I wish I had double-knotted love’s cord,
Table my deepest concerns to the Lord,
Walk beyond the shrivelled meadow,
Look out of the gloomy window.
I was worried about my troubles,
I was concerned about my dark bubbles,
I didn’t want to be together and apart,
Separated by melancholy’s cart.
I wish I had allowed light into my room,
Amplify its luminance and make it bloom,
For the young and empathetic ones,
Willing to consider pairing a gain over a loss.
