A Bucket of Coins

I wish a moment didn't stain

The page I still turn back to

I wish life

 would have filled you with breath instead of pain

I wish you could see the heart we felt

I wish you knew gold was beneath the gray

It shined for those you treasured…

It shined even in the heaviest rain

I wish midnight left a trail

So I could walk

 Towards a second that wasn’t too late

I wish you knew that impossible

 was a word never meant for someone

 as incredibly capable

and loved as you

I really wish you  knew…

I wish the morning sun found you awake

I wish the drifting clouds discovered your dreams

And left them by your pillow

 for your open eyes to claim

Still, I understand, the conflict within

Was too much to tame

 I can’t stop wishing…

With tears dropping

 like a bucket of coins in a well of wants

And I’d pay a thousand more

 if it made them come true

If only a penny could bring me your  thoughts

instead I'm only brought my own of you

I wish
because somewhere you’ll hear it and smile

 I wish you could stay

I wish you knew...
