The Icicle....

• I wish I could fix everything in my life...for everyone in my life...
• I wish I had an icicle melting in my hand...
• I wish I could be a better friend...a better mother...a better wife...
• I wish I had a beautiful, expensive, diamond studded wedding band.

• I wish everyone would just shut up...stop talking...stop whispering...stop looking at me
• I wish my wrinkles on my growing older face would disappear forever...
• I wish everyone could understand me...love me when I need it...and fear me...just be...
• I wish my temper would explode one last time..my final endeavor.

• I wish I could play the piano better...and make a violin weep with every touch of my bow...
• I wish I had one more day with my grandmother...to tell her all I couldn't...
• I wish I could make one more craft...color one more picture...so everyone would know...
• I wish I had one moment in time that would stop...but which one...I really shouldn't.

• I wish I could take it all back...
• I wish I could make it all go away
• I wish I could make it stop
• I wish I could have
• I wish I should have
• I would have
• if I were stronger
• I wish I could be forgotten
• I wish I could fade away
• I wish I could disappear
• like the icicle I'm holding...under the burning rays of the sun...melting in my hand...like tears on my cheek.
