I Wish

A short piece on a loss love

Wish we didn't lose people

We didn't cry

Didn't have to say goodbye

It hurts so bad inside

You hurt for the ones you love

Makes you question the one above

Trying to make sense of it

This pain, just can’t seem to get rid of it

My life would never be the same

Hoping for some sun

Searching for someone to blame

But even if I do

It’ll never bring back you

People around me trying to share encouraging words

But it’s doing nothing for my soul

I’m numb

My only instinct is telling me to run

But where would I go?

Whenever I was in a mood

Every single road always led to you

Now that you’re gone

I have no one to turn to

My heart is shattered

Completely broken

I wish this was a dream where I could be awoken

Your life was stolen!

Innocence mixed with curiosity

I’m furious, this is such an atrocity

You got in that car and didn’t think twice

Didn’t know the other kid was high

Didn’t know it would be your final ride

Now your flying

Out of reach

Can’t touch or feel me

This is so confusing

I wish we could go back in time

I wouldn’t have let you get in that car

I would have tried harder

Been a better friend

Who would have known that this is where our story ends?
