Just a Wish
So quiet, the footsteps.
So soft, the kiss.
So loving the glance
but it won't last, it's just a wish.
I feel the sadness
I drip in sweat;
when I awake
from the nightmarish world
you've sent me to
I fake a smile,
I close my eyes.
Take a breath,
wish for the best.
A tear falls from my face
I feel hateful and selfish.
I want you for me and only me.
So soft, the kiss.
So loving the glance
but it won't last, it's just a wish.
I feel the sadness
I drip in sweat;
when I awake
from the nightmarish world
you've sent me to
I fake a smile,
I close my eyes.
Take a breath,
wish for the best.
A tear falls from my face
I feel hateful and selfish.
I want you for me and only me.
Gone
Like a waterfall, are the tears I cry.
While in public I still am happy.
To say everything was fine would be a lie
On the outside, my countenance is laughing.
No one tries to read between the lines
to assume they feel the same
I've been told to have faith in the hardest times
but admit that I can't in shame.
Because all I ever wanted is love
is the reason I now am gone.
I floated away like a silky white dove
which you know because of this old song.
Neither death or hiding can take away
the wish I had that I could have stayed.
While in public I still am happy.
To say everything was fine would be a lie
On the outside, my countenance is laughing.
No one tries to read between the lines
to assume they feel the same
I've been told to have faith in the hardest times
but admit that I can't in shame.
Because all I ever wanted is love
is the reason I now am gone.
I floated away like a silky white dove
which you know because of this old song.
Neither death or hiding can take away
the wish I had that I could have stayed.

Haiku
A Haiku I wrote for creative writing.....
It felt light and dark
Freshly mowed grass; smooth water flowing
Remember the past.
