Wish

Ever since we met

you dreamed yourself on my page

hoped I would capture you

tell your story

for the world to see

Is this a desire for immortality

or a measure

to see how much you mean

to the world

to me

Can you guess which one

is about you

the one on self-image, immaturity

the one on love

the one about need and cruelty

it's my mirror

into your soul

did you like what you saw

did it make you think

would you like another to read
