A Wish of Surety
17 August 2006

Just to want her love
but unable to give such joy
For where was reality
that division divided by two

Empty and unfulfilled
sold out and tried to begin
Of that day, a wire connected
but unable to be joined to relate

A love entangled
one of a sight to ponder
To feel the pain in surrender
a mark placed before the road

This milestone to reach
if only possible was true
For she does know
that unknown phrase of
“I sure wish I could love you”
