"I wish"

I wish my love was just a book or some pages
To burn or to conveniently lock 'em away

I wish it wouldn't wet my feet like beach waves
Creating smile lines on my fingertips
Off the days that were sunny and never to go back

It's to hate that I love
And for all its not a vague presence
And the trust in it's never promised fulfilment

Though there's nothing left to wonder
And I haven't much but words to offer
These unsealed rantings called phrases
Has my soul buried with leeches...
