WISH FOR REMEDY
===============
i wish i knew a heart here
to fall into like a familiar bed
always there to catch my thoughts
and cuddle them into reassurance
to let me know that im doing something right.
i wish i knew one pair of eyes
soft enough to match mine in fear
and in the desire to observe
the most beautiful things in life.
one pair of arms to fold into
and be cured of my solitude
for i can only take so much
walking over the silent bricks
of this old and tired city.
a single duo of lips
to speak to me between smiles
to read off ideas and aspirations
like the pages of my favorite book of poems
to point out the smallest beauties
and tell me everything i need to hear
no matter how much it hurts.
i wish i had someone here
to be unhappy with life as is
to talk about one day fulfilling
the life-long dream of feeling content
someone to complain about complaints
to share my meaninglessness with me
someone to feel small next to
someone to exist next to
i wish for just this once
my small voice would finally be heard
that just this once
i could feel the breath of perfection
breathing down the collar of my shirt
as we held each other
both secretly and quietly
thinking about forever...
