poetry in motion: teardrop
i wish i could call you in the dark of night
just to hear the sleep in your voice
to hear you speak with eyes squeezed tight

i wish i could text you a message
just to tell you how much i love you
to tell you that i really do

i wish i didnt have tears in my eyes,
every night i lay awake thinking of you
but im not telling
because i know you dont want me to

i wish i didnt have sorrow in my throat
everytime i speak it burns deep
seeming to implode

i wish i had strength to stand on my own two feet
but i dont
i am nothing
i am weak

i wish i didnt write sad poems
nor to ever dream them in sleep
i wish never for this hollow to creep
not my wings be clipped

i wish i have you in the deep of nights
to hold back my tears
to hold my hand as i brace my fears
to always hold you here
always hold you near

i wish i didnt have tears stain my cheek
though i never lost you
why does it feel like i already do??
