Just a Wish

I wish you could see,
My illustration of peace,
I wish you could feel,
The emptiness in this sham bliss.

I wish you were here,
When I needed you the most,
I wish you could see,
The real me, not a living Ghost.

I wish I could rely,
To fall in your embrace,
I wish you’d stay,
Not leave without a trace.

I wish you could feel,
The broken strings of my heart,
I wish you could heal,
Without stabbing me with a dart.

I wish you could touch,
Feel the scars etched across my soul,
I wish you would stick,
And put me back as a whole.

I wish you were real,
But you are just a dream,
A distant, far-fetched desire,
A light, which might never gleam.

And even if you were here,
And your love might’ve been real,
I would’ve been fighting my own self,
Begging myself not to feel.

Because loving makes you vulnerable,
Because loving fills you up with hope,
And with all these sudden changes,
How can you just calmly cope?

Hence I wish,
I just wish you were here,
I wish you would feel,
I wish you would care,
I wish you would see,
I wish you would just be there.

Oh, how I wish!
How I wish you were here.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
