I Wish

Poems for the People I Love

By Dakota BennettPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

I will always wish that I could paint your favourite picture on the sky, or that I could rearrange the stars at night to shape them into the constellation that you have tattooed behind your ear. I wish that I could take all the bad from your life and suck it inside my veins so I wouldn't have to fear seeing you leave my life because of the demons that haunt your mind. I wish I could enter your heart and form a cage around it, so that it would never stop beating as no one will ever be able to punch through it. I wish I could take the bottle of stress away from your lips and instead drink it all as I hold your hand to keep you from falling apart down the cascade of solitude. I wish I could feel no pain but yours as I soak it in through a kiss, so you wouldn't have to agonize anymore.

I wish I could make a home for you out of my love and make the walls out of the softest thoughts I have about you. I wish I could crystallize the look of joy in your eyes as we hold hands so I would never have to see tears in them. I wish I could make your skin into the most precious diamonds so you could never break through your veins again. I wish I could forget all about myself so I could only focus on your beating heart.

In all, I have always, and will forever, wish for no one but you.
