The things we wish on

The things we wish on

A Poem by joey

Shooting stars
streak through the air
burning up in the night sky
making us forget that they were there 

Dandelions and four leaf clovers
making wishes in your head
but once you pick them from the ground
the wish is just as dead

Birthday candles
come only once a year
blow them out and once again
you're left in the same darkness that you fear 

Throw a penny
in a magic fountain
to sink in the water
all the others drowned in 

The sad part is
we wish on things that fall apart
to blind ourselves from 
the breaking of our hearts
