I Wish

I wish that sometimes I had a best friend,

but I realize it is all superficial now.

I wish it was different,

but then I wish a lot of things.

I wish I knew then what I know now.

I wish we were still friends.

I wish things were different.

I wish you still cared.

I wish I wasn’t scared

I wish I would stop hurting.

I wish it would all go away.

I wish my mascara didn't run with my tears,

leaving marks on my face.

I wish you and I didn't transform into you and HER.

I wish I never met you.

I wish I was never born.

I wish I wasn't sick.

I wish I could explain this.

but I guess it's more poetic than I had planned.

I wish it would stop bleeding.

I wish it would stop burning.

I wish you were here.

I wish you would call.

I wish...

This is heartbreaking and vividly emotional; I hope some of these wishes will be granted.
