The Things I Wish
I wish I could take the pain
To hoist it upon my shoulders
To bear your burden
I wish I could hold you
To give you comfort
To give you a home
I wish I could save you
To wash away the black
To mend the crack inside your heart
I wish I could love you
To give you belonging
To let me be yours
But I cannot.
O’ your beautiful scars
O’ your broken crown
Such perfection is a rare find
I wish you could be
My one of a kind.
