I wish the morning felt less far,

A gentler light, a kinder star.

I wish my chest could breathe in ease,

Like open fields and quiet trees.

I wish my hands could learn to stay,

Instead of trembling night and day.

I wish my voice could say it clear,

The things I hold but keep in fear.

I wish a touch could still the storm,

A fragile hand to keep me warm.

I wish the silence would turn kind,

And not the echo in my mind.

I wish the letter had stayed unseen.

I wish the words weren’t written for me.

I wish;

And yet it’s here, unavoidable.

And I don’t know how to face it.
