Thanksgiving Wishes
By johnqpublic
I wish I could break the bonds that hold you but I have no key to where you are I wish I could hear your laughter again, pouring over me like sunshine But you've retreated to a place where the sun is barred Thursday evening: your family is immersed in celebration of love and peace. You lie in an upstairs bedroom deaf to their shouts of joy. You sleep, you cry you ponder all the regrets of your life; I sit, helpless beside you wanting to touch, to hold, to heal I wish I could tell you I've seen a hell inside like where you are now I wish I could tell you this will pass and once again, you will rise But I am mute, drowning with you in all your tears And I am blind to the beauty you show me on your better days I am grateful to you for bringing me to this bright warm place but I wish I could see you open your eyes to the joy you've brought me on this day.
