My Wishes Were Stolen By You

by StarryBlackNight   Jul 11, 2011


Wishes dotted the summer skies like fireflies,
they shone so bright on the wishers below.
I didn't realize they would be my demise,
and that each one would get my world aglow.

Each day I wished for another one,
to keep me sane with each passing day.
But you were not to be outdone,
and you're evil little plan was underway.

You stole all the wishes from the sky,
with a stone cold heart that didn't beat.
When you asked me what was wrong I told you a lie,
but the story I told you was incomplete.

My sky turned as black as the shadow in your mind,
as each day passed you stole more of my heart.
My eyes turned pale as you let me go blind,
and with each lie we grew more apart.

My world went up in a fire of rage,
brought on by you the thief of the night.
I could never summon the strength to turn the page,
as everything slowly began to ignite.

I can't bring myself to wish anymore,
I know that you'll only steal it without care.
Once you told me something that I chose to ignore,
Never did I think I could be filled with such despair.

The love and longing I had in each little wish,
has suddenly vanished from the world.
No longer can I save this place with a wish,
and no longer can I see wishes unfurl.

These things I have no longer matter,
you'll just snatch them away.
All my memories are now scattered,
everything I had was lost in a day.

Why must it always be me who loses?
I was trying to save the people I love.
Where have I gained all these bruises?
I'll wish for peace when I'm above.
