i wish i could lie

[SelectionIll]

i wish i could lie
and tell you that glue is made from left-overs
from the rich family that lives in the big house on the hill, so we'll never run out and horses never have to cry.
I wish i could tell you
that monsters are really angels, halloween is just really long in heaven.
you deserve better than this world has to give, and that makes me want to change it for you.
but, until i do...
i wish i could lie and promise you that someday, God will make me strong again.
but, i can't. i can't lie to you, so for my sins i get to watch you cry at the injustice of it. for all my sins, i get to feel your wet warmth against my neck, listen to your quiet sobs.
i wish i could lie and tell you everything is going to be alright.

Beautiful. Such a fine line between melancholy and sadness, I'm struck by that on a regular basis.
Perhaps it is not the assurance of others that we seek when we are full of tears and frustrations. When we are going to someone with our pain, placing it shamelessley out for them to see. It is not assurance that we want, it is just the knowledge that feeling this way is okay. That we will still be loved despite the tears, the inability to change things. It is the drive to know that we are all the more wonderful for our sadness. The ability to feel a pain outside of the physical needs to be noticed and written about. Thank you for doing so.
