Wishes Don't Come True

Not Personal

I wish it were me,

In your arms tonight,

I wish I could be,

The one holding you tight.

And the words that you speak,

I wish were for me,

I wish, how I wish,

But it never could be.

 

Cause wishes don't come true,

For fools like me,

There only make believe,

For things that can't be.

Wishes are fools gold,

There fake as can be,

Just look at the  fool,

There making of me.

 

I wish it were my lips,

You were kissing so true.

O, how I wish I were,

The one loving you.

I wish it were my hand,

You were holding so tight.

I wish on each star,

That comes out at night.

 

But wishes don't come true,

For fools like me.

There only make believe,

For things that can't be.

Wishes are fools gold,

There fake as can be.

Just look at the fool,

There making of me.

This had a wonderful flow. As Michael said I think many can relate to this poem at one time or another. Very well done!

[Michael X]

awww, now that is absolutely desiorously romantic and touching, I have to say,
I love the effect that your words have on the heart, the idea of wishes
not coming true, to turn one's wanting into the foolish cravings of what it
means to yearn for something that can never be, I'm sure many, including myself,
can relate to the messege, written with whispered subtleness,
you have a way with wording that flows from the heart, naturally.

haven't we all been there though? at some point, you always fall for the one you can't have; won't ever have. it is perhaps the worst kind of love; it has no real conclusion other than time; no expression except within yourself - no outlet for that emotion. an excellent write, therapy or not.

one tiny edit thingy:

there used here throughout should be they're :-)

Whether it be for therapy or not its
a great poem.
So I guess I must be a fool too
because all i do is wish and dream
but im happy being a fool but im twice as
happy for being a dreamer.
Thanks for sharing

Best wishes and dont stop believing.

Great flow, rhythm and rhyme. Perhaps we all experience this, at some point in our lives, when everything looks hopeless and the one we fixed our hopes on is the one that got away.

Crit - the use of the word 'there' instead of 'they're' - a common mistake. Probably because there's no difference in the way we say either word.
There (They're) only make believe
There (They're) fake as can be,
There (They're) making of me.

I don't know that this is good therapy Jean, it sounds hopeless and nothing should make us feel that way, I would rather believe that anything is possible, especially if I have thought about it in my own mind. Your flow and rhyme is great as all of your work is.
