listen short stuff.

sometimes i wish i didn't know your smile.
i wish for a see-through heart.
a fistful of magic instead of regret.

sometimes i wish for my mind to go off
somewhere other than the empty war zone
of back and forth.. of ups and downs.

sometimes i wish i didn't need you.
the way people pray for god's empty
promises. the way the sky needs moonlight
to make it feel pretty.

sometimes i wish i were able to hold you when you
woke up crying in the middle of the night. fold you in
the pockets of my faith and say, "we'll be okay."
