Dangerous Wishes IV
The single wish that is placed last on my list... -it doesn't just end the list, or the page... -but a lot more. That is why it is by far the most dangerous.
dangerous wishes‐
one after another they leave my mouth,
standing single-file in my speech
walking from my heart's list,
a dangerous collection
of rather drastic desires,
inspired from torment's selection‐
extreme measures,
from the times that numbness was for hire‐
and near fatal thoughts of mine,
what is present on this list, is no man's treasure‐
dangerous wishes‐
gathered in the smoke above this burning paradise,
my heart's fire‐
no longer contained,
now rushing out untamed‐
one after another they leave my mouth,
sprinting in-line with all my speech,
the members of my heart's hopeless list
a quite dangerous collection
consisting of the worst temptations,
permanent "solutions" to what i'm told are "temporary" issues‐
as if time itself isn't printing new issues of torment by the month,
a subscription paid for with my life
all that time can't heal, it teases
but my escape lies at the bottom of this list,
of dangerous wishes‐
there is one, among all the rest
that houses more fear than all others...
that if were made a reality,
would be the last i make‐
and it wouldn't be just this page coming to an end...
