i wish i was a star
i wish i was a star so
i could shine over you and
watch as you sleep, shining
without waking you
so i could watch you in
your peaceful state and not
enrage you as she does
i wish i was the sun so
i could watch you live
vicariously under my warmth,
bringing light to your life and
casting the shadows from
beneath your eyes and
from behind your demons
i wish i was the moon so
i could peer at you from
a sliver of shadow, hiding when
you get out of control
and carefully examining
your mannerisms around everyone
including me
i wish i was a cloud so
i could change shape to
your enjoyment and bring an
elated smile to your face, a
rare occasion nowadays
because you used to lay and
watch all of me but now you don’t
i wish that you could get
out of your head and look around
look at me
i’m here
for you
but lately
it’s as if
you don’t see me
and i know
you’re going through
a lot
and i know
i probably don’t understand
much of it
but i’m here
for you
whenever you’re ready
and i don’t mean
to sound impatient
but
can you be ready soon?
it’s just that
i want to share this
life with you
i want to live vicariously
with you
not with anyone else
but with you
and only you.
