…astray… - Nirvana Margaret

I don’t believe in wishes

and yet

I find myself wishing

I could hear echos of your thoughts

across sunsets

and beneath words spoken for others

I wish you could see me

amongst the hazes between your atmosphere

in ultraviolet color palettes

and I wish you’d find me

in these shadows

within indiscernible heartbeats

and images

contrasting with ghosts

I fear I’m lost

among this mutual realization

of tangible illusion

I wish we could talk

I wish I could figure out

how to be there for you
