Hell at the Wishing Well

By Jason Morton

By Jason MortonPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

Forever, have I been unable to forget

Was it not meant to be

Such memories not made to suffer regret

They last like the endlessness of the sea

---

Spotted the signs of the everlasting

Giving some special place inside the mind

Until powers bigger than ours began blasting

Away at the happiness we tried to find

---

Forever locked in one unforgiving place

Never again to be free

Nothing done made it easier to replace your face

For forgetting the feelings of you were not to be

---

Taken, not forgotten

Those days kept me going long after gone

If only not in a world so incredibly rotten

If only we could have beaten the odds and won

---

At the end of the story, still haunted by the days spent

With you and the rest of the world stopped

You've been with me wherever I have went

Despite having our bubbles popped

---

And in those times we were so young, and you were innocent

Wishes in the well still keep that memory alive

Sweetness that was always abundant

Wishing for one more moment to feel that I've

---

Earned such feelings and been that guy

Unto the world you did unleash me

But without you, how many times must I die

Before wishes become my reality

---

So with that one last wish of mine

I cast away the coin with pride

Hoping that you find happiness and will be fine

As I hold it all deep within, deep inside
