“Wish”

I wish you’d overcome your pride

I wish we had caught ourselves

I wish you saw the big picture

I wish you didn’t hate me

I wish I didn’t hate you

I wish you kept your promises

I wish I had stayed calm

I wish you saw I’m about to take over the world

Maybe not the whole thing

But my little piece

Because I am worthy

Despite your novel-length texts

Listing all of the reasons

Why I’m not

I’m older now

But my spirit is still strong

Backed by my smart mouth

Little more than plain

But I’ve got an endless soul

And eventually you’ll step foot on my land again

A soulmate disengaged

Your mistakes will be writings on the wall

I don’t want you to suffer

But a little regret

Would do wonders for your ego

As you realize I wasn’t the only reason

It all went wrong

However we end up, boy

I wish you well
