This Is My Wish

by Tragic Rabbit

 

This is my wish for you:

That you wake nightly

Anxious, drenched in sweat

From passion dreams of me

 

That you ache for my touch

Think of me with him

And call my name aloud

When he’s above you

 

My goodbye gift to you:

Memories of me

Nights wrapped in love’s embrace

Whispers in the dark

 

The scent of my skin

Should haunt you forever

Like the tears in my eyes

The day you left me

 

This is my wish for you:

That one day you’ll know

The true price of the pearl

That you cast aside
