This Undying Wish
I wish I could understand why he cannot not weep
Every minute, every hour, every single day.
Then maybe I could finally get some sleep.
Life might be a slippery slope. But not so steep
One would be forced to look away.
I wish I could understand why he cannot not weep.
Does he now remember all the promises he did not keep?
If only he would stop apologizing today,
Then maybe I could finally get some sleep.
Dear Lord, the most merciful, let him not sink too deep.
Though I only have these words to pray,
I wish I could understand why he cannot not weep.
I hope one day some consciousness would seep
Or he would run out of guilt to pay.
Then maybe I could finally get some sleep.
Will he stop such an act so juvenile and cheap?
Did he not know I could not forever stay?
I wish I could understand why he cannot not weep.
Then maybe I could finally get some sleep.
