I wish

I wish

I wish I could tell you,

what it meant to be lonely.

I wish I could tell you,

what it meant to struggle.

I wish I could tell you,

how each day was passing.

I wish I could tell you,

how each wailing night felt.

I wish I could tell you,

How faithless I have become.

I wish I could tell you,

the miseries of my mind.

I wish I could tell you,

the craving of my soul.

I wish I could tell you,

how hopeless was my hope.

I wish I could tell you,

my grievances and games.

I wish I could tell you,

all stories I recall.

I wish I could tell you,

the promises you have broken.

I wish I could tell you,

how darkness felt.

I wish I could tell you,

the light was a mirage.

I wish I could tell you,

the time was a number.

I wish I could tell you,

I wish I could show you.

I wish I could reveal,

every wound, every scar!

I wish you knew,

I wish you could understand,

I wish you could imagine,

I wish you could save me,

I wish you could revive,

my tired heart,

that has stopped its beat!
