I Wish

I scream into the void Embrace the night To keep from falling I stare into the light To blind myself From what went wrong and I hear you calling Your essence still remains... I can't deny The way The pain Escaped my sight And I Was wrong, but had no right I never meant to watch you die I wish I knew what you'd been through I wish I came around for you I wish I would have made this right So you could still be here tonight I carry this by choice I could have tethered you to something This guilt divides my soul And in between, I'm left with nothing I hear you calling Your essence still remains... I can't deny The way The pain Escaped my sight And I Was wrong, but had no right I never meant to watch you die I wish I knew what you'd been through I wish I came around for you I wish I would have made this right So you could still be here tonight I cannot take this I'm a shell of myself through my empathy I let go, to survive my own sympathy Let go of me I'm just rotting away with the thought of your memories Take it, take it back Just take it, take it back I can't deny The way The pain Escaped my sight And I Was wrong, but had no right I never meant to watch you die I wish I knew what you'd been through I wish I came around for you I wish I would have made this right So you could still be here tonight
