Returning Wish
I threw a penny down a wishing well
But I didn’t make a wish
I was returning a wish
I had been holding onto this penny for awhile
Thinking that my wish would return back to me
But that’s not how life works
A wish only has so much life to it
I wish it could be eternal
I wish it could last as long as time
But it doesn’t
It can’t
It won’t
Sadly my time with my wish ran out
It was a grand time
A life that I wish I could relive every day
Just once more to feel the embers before they became ash once more
Just once more to feel my pocket vibrate from a notification from a person that had a picture for their contact
Just once more to feel the pulses of our bodies merge into one as our fingers intertwine
Just once more for our planets to reside in the same solar system
But my luck ran out
The hands of time slowed down
The sand in the hourglass finally stopped trickling down
That’s when the penny started to rust
That’s when you started to look different from the day we met
You looked more in pain than you ever had
You looked beautiful as you stood there drawing out the love we shared from my veins
I don’t regret anything
I regret not being the perfect Knight in your fairytale
For a Knight dressed in black, I only slay my allies not my enemies
I hope wherever you are
Wherever you go
Whoever you meet
You’ll find a home
You’ll find warm hands and a soft shoulder to rest your head
You’ll find a heart pure, untainted by horrors and sin
I return this wish to the wishing well
Hoping that it will do you some good, as it did with me before.
