Wishing All the wishing in my power, Won’t bring you back again, Losing strength by the hour, Imagining your pain. I never wished to hurt you, Though it was destined to be, Secrets that I never knew, Ventured on without me. Deep from death’s dark eyes, You whispered only truth, This love gives, as it denies, Taking innocence and youth. Selfish in need and thought, Netted by quick charms, Never knowing what I’d wrought, Not heeding the alarms. Now I’m left wishing, upon Stars that don’t exist, Left on the ground to carry on, Just know that you are missed. © 2000 Corinne Bailey |

I never wished to hurt you, Though it was destined to be, Secrets that I never knew, Ventured on without me. Deep from death’s dark eyes, You whispered only truth, This love gives, as it denies, Taking innocence and youth. ------------ Now I’m left wishing, upon Stars that don’t exist, Left on the ground to carry on, Just know that you are missed. ---------- tender, bittersweet poem C, fragile emotions laced with regret beautiful in its longing and melancholy take care, jm I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - that I know too much I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling ... If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home cuz there's a little bit of something me... In everything in you. ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |
