As You Wish

I always tell my mind,
One day at a time.
Once or twice it listens to me.

Thoughts that come and go,
Between days, weeks, months and years they flow.
Like a tidal wave crashing down on me.

The feeling I long for,
Like never before.
Someone close, but not so close.

I tried again,
This time with a friend.
One more short story down.

Feeling of emptiness,
Consumes my chest.
With a deep breath of relief.

I push away,
So no one will stay.
That is the objective I see.

I don't know how to hold on,
Only to be strong.
I keep my wings tucked away.

A little hint of sadness is all I confess,
The other is just pure recklessness.
So on with my days...

They are lonely sometimes,
At least they are all mine.
Some regrets, but not to many.

I guess it is the time of year,
Everyone full of cheer.
I will partake in some.

Chats with old loves never wanting to move on,
The feeling is oh so gone.
Came quickly one night.

As fast as they came,
It all turned to blame.
Again...

Maybe in my mind,
There is still time.
To move on without a blink.

My eyes are tired now,
My tears they flow,
Never under control.
For me that's ok.

At home alone I can be,
The one that on one will ever see.

As you wish
