Wish

Did you ever feel like you were in a movie?
Did you ever think you were crazy?
Did you ever wake up in the morning and just cry, cry, cry and cry?
If you did, this poem is for you, and no one else.

Every morning just as I wake up,
You are the first thought in my mind.
I go through the days thinking,
About how I once had you, and now I lost you,
I go through the nights crying and suffering
Because once, I was too proud to come back to you
Every night, when I go to bed, just before I go to sleep,
You are the last thought on my mind.
I feel like this every day,
I feel like this all the time.
A time of stillness,
A time of sadness,
A time of pain….
I feel like this every day……
……….Since I first left you.

I look at the watch and time doesn’t move
I look at the sky and the sun doesn’t shine
All is grey and pale around me,
Where did all the colours go?
