Wishing Well

Artists : Lyndsay Diaries, The : Wishing Well

stand atop the wishing well in the dark of the night. passing the time. not a star in sight. not even one. not one to make an empty wish on. cross my heart and hope to die if i break apart with this lie. the time keeps passing but you remain the same. and your love still remains. i make a wish on a prayer as a tear falls down the well. i never hear the fall. it's as if the wish was too tall. i make a wish on a prayer. hoping you're still there. don't give up on me now. don't give up on me yet. hindsight is always such a sight. in prediction the weather and how things ought to be. send you rain and relieve me of this tongue twisted pain. i make a wish on a prayer as a tear falls down the well. i never hear the fall. it's as if the wish was too tall. crumbling i drop a rock and hear the echoes of the screams as it plunges to its death at the bottom. at the bottom i find my heart. i believed when they moved their lips. i didn't take my eyes off theirs. all the right words and all the right convincing. i closed my eyes and jumped in spinning. prologue to the foreclosure of a heart. i see you at the top of the well with open arms and a smile. you wish me well.
