I Wish...

I wish I did not make you so angry,
That you do not want to talk to me,
I wish there was a way for you to see,
That’s not how I want it to be.
Somehow,
I always say or do something wrong,
Make you angry because I am not strong,
I try to be what you want of me,
Another person I cannot be…

You say you do not want me to go away,
Yet I cause you such grief,
I don’t see how I can stay…
I wish I could be,
What you want of me…

I am sorry for all the pain I cause,
But my sorrow does nothing for you I know,
I just wish I could show you,
I don’t mean to make you blue…
My world has come crashing down,
And I am laying on the ground,
With ashes in my hair,
For am so deep in grief,
I just do not care
Seek only the relief
Of not being here…

I wish I had never done,
This thing that makes you so down,
How I could not trust my friend,
Not let you in…
I am so deep in sorrow,
I can not see tomorrow.

My world is black not grey,
And I feel as if I cannot live
Another day…
Let me cut away the evil inside,
Let bury it,
Let me hide.
I wish I did not breathe,
Was buried beneath my lovely leaves,
So beautiful they are,
Maybe they can cover the ugliness
I see…
Maybe a little of their beauty,
Can rub off on me…

I wish so much,
That I had never touched
The beauty that is your soul,
The man I have come to know.
The thought of hurting you,
Is more than I can bear,
How can I be so unfair
To all that you do
I wish I could be a better friend
To you.

This is the effect of the cold shoulder isn't it? Felt this way myself a time or two. Great write. Loved the way you expressed the emotion.

Rettta, somehow, someway, you must start pulling yourself together and let the sun shine in. LET THE SUNSHINE FLOOD YOUR HEART! OPEN YOUR EYES LADY. A NEW DREAM IS 0UT THERE. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO.
A NEW DREAM IS OUT THERE
