A Wish On An Eyelash

I wish on an eyelash,

Watch as it joins the dust motes

On their journey through the grimy window.

I wish on the stars,

A million glimmers of hope

In a day sky draped with black velvet.

I wish because I'm the odd one out,

No one else I know is in my situation,

I wish because it's my birthday,

And another year's gone by and I still feel the same.

I wish in a daydream,

A fantasy world where you feel the same,

I wish in despair,

As I know that you never could,

Never will.

Days,

Weeks,

Months,

Years have gone by,

Dragging on in an endless world of grey,

Wishing,

Hoping,

Praying,

Maybe even believing,

That you could love me, too…
