Wishing you luck
In love and life
Sets my soul to crumble
Under the weight of what I’ve left unsaid
I wished you had stayed
Held me close
Instead of away
I wished you had listened
To my pleas
Instead of assigning blame
I wished you knew
Just how much I wanted you
Flaws and all
I wished you knew my reasoning
Behind choosing to step away
Because then you’d truly know
The depth of my feelings for you
I wished I could give you what you wanted
But in good conscious
I can’t
I wished I could be a good mother
But I know I would not
When you already shame me
For the darkness, I have inside
It wouldn’t be fair to you
Or for whoever I create
To bear the burdens of a mother
Too damaged by others
To simply celebrate
I wished I could be me
The me who I want to be
But the veil can’t be lifted for too long
Before I retreat underneath
In sweet relief
When there’s been too much light
