WISHFUL THINKING

And then you let them slip away

Go awry

Fall astray

You've reached your limit, but no one knows

That he represents your every foe.

Having your arm wrenched in order to move forward

Aches and stings; strains and sings

A beautiful melody you can't put to sleep

A melody that never wants to let go

She only grips tighter with every woe

The path feels righter 

With every rejected misguided attempt

To draw out a heart that is better spent

Growing to know and love itself

But you love that heart he's put aside on a shelf

To ignore, decay

Wander, fray

On the end where the past has built up a play

Of characters who are blind

Deceit and lust

All sitting on that shelf gathering dust.

You're soul throws tantrums for what must be lost

For the waiting that must happen

For friendships tossed

And you can't fix it, even if you could afford to

You can't handle it no matter how much you want to

There's no convincing someone cares more than you

You're eager to move on; to run away

Before your realize you have something to say.

So for now you plead and wait and brew

I promise I wish that I didn't love you
