wishing
i wished
one night
when the sky was low
and the moon
was high
and my spirit
was somewhere floating
over a body
of water
i wished on hope
and i wished on the idea
of love
and that while my spirit was
floating,hovering
somewhere else
it would find
another lonely and
resteless spirit
and bring it home
and i wished for passion
where my body was made
a shrine at the foot
of someones love
where my heart didn't fear
any longer
and my eyes didn't betray
my distrust
so tonight i wished
and i lay in my bed
with the tears gently falling
into my pillow
falling asleep
wishing for a dream
that i fear won't come true
