Wishes Don't Come True

I wish there were words to express how I feel,

But no words I see will do.

No words exist to convey my pain

Or the love I feel for you.

The love that stings like a bee

And makes me swell with pain.

I wish you loved me like honey,

Sweet and thick and sticky,

But that love for me no longer exists,

So I must care for the wound it left.

I wish I made you happy.

I try to every day,

But I can't seem to make you love me anymore.

I cry myself to sleep.

Every day I fail.

Every day I weep.

I wish a lot of things these days,

But what is there to do?

Life isn't a dream or fairytale.

Wishes don't come true.
