My Wish
So long I have waited
For a chance to face you
But I know it will never come
I am no stranger to pain
But this one breaks me
Like no other could.
I want to believe
You can see me
Hear my words
Know my mind
But maybe that’s my illusion
Lost as I am
In this fantasy
Racked in sin
Bathed in your blood
I have fought death
And lost my sorry battle
Now I will tango with evil
Take the devil by the hand
Make him see my mind
Feel my need
Know my anger
And he shall wither
By the force of my hate
I told myself
A little time
A little space
But time is eternal
And space infinite
So where does that leave me?
Lost in its maze
Tricked by foolish dreams
Loved by hidden sins
Where will I arrive?
Will all that tell me?
How could I even know?
Would you come to me?
If I turned back time
Turned the heavens away
I don’t think you would
I don’t think you could
I wish
For a spell
To bring you back
I wish
For words to enchant you
To make you stay
I wish
For you to be blind
So that you would not see my faults
I wish
For perfection
If only to see you smile
I wish…
But age has shown me much
I know nothing is
Or ever was
What we could wish
I know you are gone
I know you would hate me
I know
I am too old for foolish dreams…
For a chance to face you
But I know it will never come
I am no stranger to pain
But this one breaks me
Like no other could.
I want to believe
You can see me
Hear my words
Know my mind
But maybe that’s my illusion
Lost as I am
In this fantasy
Racked in sin
Bathed in your blood
I have fought death
And lost my sorry battle
Now I will tango with evil
Take the devil by the hand
Make him see my mind
Feel my need
Know my anger
And he shall wither
By the force of my hate
I told myself
A little time
A little space
But time is eternal
And space infinite
So where does that leave me?
Lost in its maze
Tricked by foolish dreams
Loved by hidden sins
Where will I arrive?
Will all that tell me?

I don’t think you could
