.wish.

[siren]

shards of truth
scattered
floating through your
knowing/confused mind.
newfound knowledge driving you over an edge.
nathan, i wish i could say
i knew what was going on
in your head
i wish i could simplify it
for myself
and everyone else who loves you
i wish i could have known
i wish i could have done something
instead of feeling
oh-so-helpless
when i got that call.
so many wishes for time lost.
so we're all sitting around
waiting for your return
your smart-assed comments
and wishing you were here
as a steady part of our presence.
in your knowing/confused mind
i want you to know
that i wish that time
that we all spent together
won't be lost.
