One Wish

by Naima   Aug 31, 2005


One wish Is all I ask, one wish, a love that continually gives, that doesn't feel like a task.
Just one wish Is all I desire, though it seems that wishes of mine lay right next to the fire.
Watch my heart burn, When!?!, oh when Will I learn?
My lungs consume the smoke, my throat submerges me slowly as I begin to choke.
Aurghh!!!
It kills me so, but I must keep these scars as a reminder of my mistakes.
I know all too well of my ways, but I became oblivious to any obstacles I might face.
Oh, I am that wishful dreamer reaching for a star, only this one has your face plastered unto to it, and I can't reach it because we're so far.
Let me wish for something that can withstand my angst, allow me to push aside my broodiness and give thanx.
Cause everyday I see your face, but my heart aches.
Everyday I stitch this heart with lace, and I pray that this loneliness is a phase.
One wish Is all I need to bring some comfort back into this home, back into this zone, back into this abyss that's left me all alone....

    Pretty sketchy, emtion was great, wordplay was good, but it felt like it was missing something. It was still a good poem though.
