One Wish

by TragicRomance   Sep 29, 2005


If you had one wish, what would it be,
I don't know about you but I know about me;

I wish I could just go back in time,
now what I did feels like such a crime;

I took for granted, everything,
it seemed like I found it as just a fling;

I take a look at what I am missing,
and suddenly, I'm remmonissing;

What seems like now, my perfect house,
certain shoes or my favorite blouse;

I am now losing days and days of sleep,
my memories are the only thing I can keep;

Thoughts and pain fill my head,
wishing I was sleeping in my own bed;

I didn't think that this now, destroyed town,
could get me depressed and so far down;

As I look at what I once called home,
I realize why I am so alone;

I think of what now seems so good,
I wish could go back, if I only could;

I lie awake evry night,
knowing nothing is alright;

As I see the photos of my destroyed street,
I was shot with the pain of defeat;

I try to stay calm, try to be strong,
but I haven't been home in so long;

now I am thinking of this,
this town that now, does not exsist;

I realize how much I really cared,
the pain is now too much to bear;

I now have an emptiness in my heart,
and it is suddenly tearing me apart;

I love what I had, but that was in the past,
I guess a good feeling can never last;
