I Wish

I wish I could look in the mirror everyday
and think I looked beautiful.
I wish I could walk into a room full of strangers
with my head held high and my story to tell.
I wish I was really talented at something like everyone else.
I wish I knew what I was doing with my life.
I wish I was skinny to the bone so I could go to the beach
with pride and look like all my friends.
I wish I didn't have to say "goodbye" so often
that my chest aches in a familiar way.
I wish I thought better of myself.

If I said
that your eyes
sparkle like emeralds...

Would you widen them
so that they could
usurp the sun?

Make her see
through my eyes

Make her see
the peace I'm trying to find

Make her see
further than I could ever measure

Make her see
that right now I'm blind

careless fingers,
they will
always take.
they never
will learn that...
fragile hearts
don't just break.

so brittle they crack
under pressure.
then into
a million shards,

they
shatter.

Q
not long ago
when you & i
were watching all the stars

the patterns in
the pitch-black sky--
we named one that was ours.

but sadly now
it's not the same
the stars, they seem so far

i've realized
the nights we spent
were countless wasted hours

*

eventually
as time goes on
the star too, will grow old

before it turns
to nothingness
it will have to explode
i liked making this one ayeeee

In the night somewhere
A baby cries
And somewhere else
Lovers sigh
And as time passes
An old man dies

Somewhere out in space
A planet turns
And light years away
A star sun burns
Making us merely dust
And no-one learns
