Verb- To desire

Sometimes I wish,

          That on days you didn't feel like livin' or if you were too sad to smile

There was a crack in the earth you could slip into...

 

          That maybe instead of crying yourself to sleep;

When the pain of the world pours out of your eyes,

      There was something bright like an innocent childs smile to make them tears of joy.

 

There's moments I pray that the weight pulling my head and shoulders down...

   Could be lifted by the mighty fingers of God himself!

 Oh, How I hope.  Could anyone understand?

Why I tried to stop the pain like the dams hold back the rivers?!

 

Sometimes I wish,

  I could've stopped you in time.

And you'd sit next to me marveling at the wonders of humankind

Instead of floating around like a memory stuck in my head.

a very interesting and piognant write... its like talking to oneself...a monologue of sorts taking place in a semi concious state with no control whatsoever on our own mind... they say time is the best medicine and yet at best time can fade black to grey...there are memories that never die...and even when we try to fight our way off them..its our mind that plays the trick and leads to such monologues...
nicely penned!

I like this. And I find your title very interesting. It is quite sad too! Nice job!

you create a deeply moving scene~
here I see arms offered as a cradle~ a cradle that remains empty~
a notable poem in its ability to relate to~ to engage the reader completely into the emotions of the narrator~

This is a very interesting/ creative poem and I like the last line the best "And you'd sit next to me marveling at the wonders of humankind Instead of floating around like a memory stuck in my head" Love that line. So relatable. This poem in itself is relatable and that's what I like about it. So great job. Keep writing. :)
