The Wishing Well

Dark misused waters,
Never as calm as they should be,
Only to be interrupted,
By a coin,
Always from me.

 

Always wasting money on wishes,

For them never to come true,

For as long as I've known,

My soul was always blue.

 

For if I was as rich as this wishing well,

But only in the form of love,

I would be happy,

Far happier than anything could know.

 

The dark disturbed waters,

Soon come to a eerie calm,

As I quit wish the same wish,

As I did since I would know.

 

For I have lost all faith in you,

In this wishing well of love.

Nothing ever comes true,

It just empties you.
