My Wish

I wish I could make you smile
I know I’ve done it before
hoping all the while
that maybe we can hang outside these doors

I wish I could get to know you
or at least push past the start
give you someone you can go to
when you have longing in your heart

I wish my name had meaning
in your brilliant world
an epic act of teaming —
a beautiful beast of Mayhem
and his radiant, deadly girl

I wish I always had the right things to say
when you’re in need of brightening the day
to take away your anger so you don’t shoo me
or simply drift away

I wish I knew if I could love you
or if this is some infectious stage
of a delusional fool with heartache —
or could we last until old age
