time
I wish I had more time with you
To burn those twinkling eyes and mischievous smile
Into the back of my skull as I sleep at night
As if they’re not already tattooed there
I wish I had more time with you
So you could say more sweet nothings to me
For me to bookmark and smile back at
As if I don’t already reread those pages over and over
I wish I had more time with you
So you could show me more of who you are
The good, the bad, a lot of bad
Show me so much red that even my glasses could no longer shade me from it
I wish I had more time with you
So I could try to help you
While you break me down
And I become the one crying out for help
I wish I had more time with you
So that the taste of you
Had become more and more sour
Instead, I’m stuck on your honey like a bee
I wish I had more time with you
Until I didn’t want any more time with you
