But a Wish is But a Wish

Delusion or Reality, take your pick.

Water water water

This is all I can mutter,

For thirst unquenched my mind starts to falter

Through this scorching desert as we blunder,

 

From my side comes a triumphant cry,

Given our state I wonder why

For there he says does the water lie,

From his point of direction I assume close by

 

My sudden relief dissolves in what I cannot see,

Is his a mirage or can it be,

I know the answer deep inside of me

But In denial I wish to be,

Living in his salvation fantasy

 

But a wish is but a wish

Though true it would be bliss,

I must open my eyes to see I never fall amiss

As I venture out and find the water beneath the abyss

For the truth is an uncharted and faceless kiss.
