The Wish

Though I wish this pain away,
I think it is here to stay.
I'm trying to be strong,
But strength doesn't stay with me long.
All these tears falling down my face
As I look for my place.
I watch my dreams shatter
And wonder why they even mattered.
While I sweep up my shattered dreams,
I wonder if this is more than it seems.
When my wounded heart heals,
Maybe it will be love that I feel.
