The Lies and My Secret Wish
October 2, 2007
I listen to the lies.
If only life was as easy as everyone says
It is.
If I could wish for anything...
But I can't, so I don't try.
I close
My eyes and count to ten.
I start again,
Breath and live.
Your picture hangs on my wall...
You're just another lie.
Still,
I wish upon every star and 11:11 and dandilion.
Because,
Even as I write these words,
And know it's all fake...
I want it to be real.
I want you to come alive...
Again.
