The Dalema

A Wish Your Heart Makes

With all the challenges
I’ve been through
and all the struggles
I’ve seen
no matter what I refuse to believe
A dream is just a dream.

Here I am
Thinking of you
Again

Wishing you’d have
Saved me
From him

Had you been here
In my life
He wouldn’t have

Here I am
Wishing for you
Wanting us back

This is my plea
My last cry
For help

Please show me
Say something –
Reach out

This is my
Final cry
For you

Show me somehow
Say anything –
Soon.

A truth I wasn’t ready for

I loved you

But you loved you more.

Just in case you forgot
I’m still right here.

Missing you –
Missing us,
Whatever we were.

Feeling you
Forgetting me.

I just wish you knew,
I just want you.
And I want you –
To be happy.

Then it hit me –
A truth I wasn’t ready for

Like the sea
Crashing against the cliffs at shore

Love comes in waves –
On its own terms and in its own time

I was trying too hard
To control the power of the tide
