wishing well

Standing over a wishing well
Wondering what is worth wishing for
Something you want but can’t have
The something you have but no longer want
Wishing for the unattainable
To scared to even try
The reflection of the sky
Stares back at you
As you glance into the murky deepness
Drowning in memories
As a star shots across the ripples
Will it be truer still?
On a star in a well
As the water bubbles
And the light fades
Some waters are tainted
Floating in broken memories
As an angels voice echoes
I love you and you don’t hear
And some stars are debris
Wreckage of enhanced memories
Standing over a wishing well
Wanting more then what you are due
Wondering wants worth wishing for
Happy tomorrows with smiles
Giggles over numbing pain
Wishing for the non retainable
Destiny over injustices
Nothing that is too profane
Standing there thinking
Life don’t work that way
Coincidences of a shooting star
In the depths of murky water
Still throwing your money down
One hour to the minute
