I know you can’t
But I wish you could
When I ask you to
I wish you could
When I call for you
I wish you could
When I cry for you
I wish you could
What I demand of you
I wish you could
When I search for you
I wish you could
If I moan for you
I wish you could
When I forgive you
I wish you could
When I love you I wish you could.
I know you can’t.
But I wish you could.

There are times when my frustration with people I love or have lost spills over into something like this piece.
