Wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which fills up first.
I wish you could
have been honest
from the beginning.
I wish I hadn’t
fallen for the
sick machinations
of a couple of
sadistic fucks
who deserve
one another.
I wish the two
of you hadn’t
used me as meat,
to be burned in
sacrifice just
because the
smell is pleasant.
I wish you’d given
me that choice.
But I was the
bad guy.
I wish I’d known.
I would have bought
a cape
and a mustache,
one with curly
ends so I could
twist them like
a black-and-white
movie villain.
I have that flair
for the dramatic
you know.
I wish I’d known
I was a self-absorbed
controlling
blackmailer.
Who knew?!
Or that you
laughed about me
every fucking
day.
That was a kick
in the dick
I wish I didn’t
have to take.
And fuck my life
if I don’t wish you…
well.
I wish you well.
I wish you
get the bike,
write the book,
break the chains,
leave the past.
I wish you would
Heal.
Find rain.
Find the shore.
You were more than
words on the
screen.
I wish.
I wish.
