A WISH

poem version

okay, please don’t kill me if it sucks.

a girl’s POV

------------------------------------------------

My thoughts are filled with his blue eyes

and his warm laughter clouds my mind

but my heart is so cold it cries.

I saw him earlier and his smile was kind

he looked at me and all I saw was light

but then my body was stuck in a bind

because you were hers and it was such a sight.

The world stopped when you held her hand

and embraced her tenderly, not too tight.

I couldn’t say anything and it was grand

the girl whose confidence overflowed

was at a loss for words and couldn’t stand.

The pain was crippling but I just stowed

it in my heart, as I strived to smile

and return the gratitude that I owed.

I was walking down the aisle.

It was your wedding day

and it felt like a mile.

It was over, and like a sun shine’s ray

your voice cuts through my reverie,

asking me if I was okay.

I merely nod my head, lost in your heavenly

eyes, while struggling to keep the tears from falling

and praying steadfastly

that everything I saw was a misunderstanding.

But then she walks over and smiles at me

seemingly ignorant of the cutting

wound made by her eyes, like tea.

They slice through me like they know all

that goes on inside and I see,

the compassion is a wall

and is as cold as ice.

Then I feel I’ll fall.

I imagine myself with a vice

but shakes it off instantly.

I’m not a dice

that will follow chance aimlessly,

though I gasp for air like a fish,

then the tears fall unfailingly.

It was just a wish.
