A WISH IN VAIN...

I wish I were......
a tear drop taking birth in your eye,
caressing your cheeks,
and dying on your lips.
I wish I were......
the naughty smile playing on your lips,
giving you an aura of innocence,
and lending a touch of mischief.
I wish I were......
the heart that beats deep within you,
full of love and happiness,
content to embrace your bosom.
I wish I were......
that merry twinkle in your eye,
which leads a short life,
but brings you immense joy.
But, alas, I am....
...like your silky raven tresses.
Blown into your eyes by the winds of time,
so much a part of you, but tossed away with utter disdain.
