Wish
I wish I had never let go
But I had no choice they’re breath was already gone
Life’s a series of test and you don’t get to choose what you learn
I’m handling soldier level grief while still playing with Lego pieces
4 yrs old asking where my pops at knowing I won’t see him
I wish I had never let go but I didn’t because that wish grew into a demon
Now these voices inside my head never stop screaming
And these cracks inside my heart never stop bleeding
But since a young age learned how to stop revealing
No matter the pain or feeling wouldn’t catch tears streaming
I wish I had never let go turned into how I cope
Now these tears feel like daggers anytime they pour
I wish I had never let go
Turned into I never have and I probably won’t
