The Wishing Well
Asking too much — A love story/poem
Thumbing through my book of fantasies. Living a life of honesty. This reality saddens me. We are never might to be.
I am unable to hide behind bravery. As I am weak from battling through treachery. That left me half alive and waiting in limbo for you. As it turns out, I am just passing through, and I will never truly know you. All the words I never said continue to grow. Since one-sided, absent a counterbalance. I must let go. Hoping you were the one to listen to my heart. The maybe in your smile evaporated so quickly. For you are more than unattainable. The excitement risked dancing with the truth and turned into sour hope I must bury inside of me.
Living a life of honesty. I am not afraid to try, I am not afraid to admit I cry, I am not afraid of the truth that is denied. I know all the right words will never change your mind. I wish I were penniless for the wishing well I found. So many sleepless nights with the constant harassment of a million theories. Why can none be proven wrong with wisdom? From the first to the last, you are my favourite person. Will my book of fantasies ever have a page you are not on? I wish I never found the wishing well of bad luck. As I am stuck, loving and missing you forevermore.
