Hope I Get Lucky
I wasted my wishes on you
all in hopes that the day my wish came true
was not far
every candle that i blew out on birthdays
your words echoed in my head
and as the smoke drifted away
i hoped the universe heard what was said
every eyelash to fall upon my cheek
i blew away with a whispering breath
if i do my part,
surely the wish granter would do the rest
every shooting star
that shined in the whistling night
i hoped that someone out there was listening
i hoped that that star, was more than just a light
every night i'd stay awake too late
seeing the time hit 11:11
this wish would surely seal my fate
if i waste not one second
a old water fountain
with copper pennies at its base
when i retrieved a penny of my own
the fountain is where i would race
spring sprung upon me
with the growing of new weeds
so i wished on a white dandelion
until the air filled with its seeds
no i have never wished on a wish bone,
maybe that may have been the missing piece
but I've grown out of my wishing for you
I've lost my hope to say the least
