I wish I could yell instead of crying. I wish I stood my ground as you do sharp words and cold tone unbreakable, unmovable, unchangeable. I wish I could hurt as you do, I wish I could cry and apologize, late at night, the "I'm sorry"s come, but nothing ever changes. I wish I were like you, I wish I had put a limit, drawn a line, defended it with my life, I wish I had pushed you, yelled, I wish I had ran, Anything but this smile, I wish I didn't forgive you, My forgiveness is too easy, I wish I could blame you, God knows it could be easy, I wish I could hate you. But here I am.
