I wish I wasn't still in love
With the person I believed you were
I wish I remembered our time
Clearly instead of merged into a blur
I wish I could happen upon
A picture of us without feeling sick
I wish I was able to outrun
My pain, I tried, but it's too quick
I wish I was capable of
Saying your name without tears leaking out
I wish I had some control over
The honest chaotic words I spout
I wish I was better at apologies
I am sorry for causing you pain
I wish I was worse at forgiveness
My trust is too easy to regain
I wish I didn't miss your touch
And the way you hugged me
I wish I was able to talk
About us without saying "we"
I wish I was able to forget
How your face looks when your heart is sore
I wish I could listen to our song
And not crumble to bits on the floor
I wish I would have deleted your texts
So I would not reread them all day
I wish I had a magic wand
To turn our skies blue instead of grey
I wish I didn't fake a smile
In every picture I post
I wish I was brave enough
To exorcise your stubborn ghost
I wish I could escape the ropes
Of silence wrapped around my heart
I wish I wouldn't of bared my
Whole soul when you shared only a part
I wish I didn't see your image
In my mind each time I close my eyes
I wish I could forget the feeling
Of your fingertips dancing on my thighs
I wish I dreamed of something else
Besides your smile every night
I wish I could bury my hurt
Deep below the surface; out of sight
I wish I was an important enough
reason for you to change
I wish I could spin you like a
Rubiks Cube until you rearrange
I wish I had an easier time
Dragging this body out of bed every day
I wish I didn't want to hide
Under covers and waste away
I wish I could make the sun shine
And light up my life once more
I wish I wasn't too delicate
To speak openly like before
I wish I still felt beautiful
The way I did when you stared at me
I wish I would have stopped handing you chances
After number 93
I wish I possessed the strength
To push myself off my knees
I wish I had the perfect plan
To save you from your deserved disease
I wish I lived in the present
Instead I am always stuck in the past
I wish I could slow down time
I'm powerless; it flies by too fast
I wish I could leave you behind
Move on, let go of this sunken ship
I wish I didn't let you drive
Each time we went on a guilt trip
I wish I could predict the future
What our outcome will be
I wish I had the ability
To write the ending to this story
I wish I lived somewhere new
So I wouldn't see your mom around
I wish I could ask how you are
And look anywhere else but the ground
I wish I could put my heart
Back together in one piece
I wish I was strong enough
To force these wants and needs to cease
I wish I hated you for putting
Me through all seven layers of Hell
I wish I didn't miss your kiss
The heaven I once thought I knew so well
I wish I was a heartless corpse
Incapable of love or emotion
I wish I would have my breath taken
Sorrows are waves and I drown in this ocean
