Wish

I wish it upon a wishing star
to give my wish to me

I wish it, wish it, wish it

It just runs away from me

I run, run, run
towards oblivion in search of
my wish

My wish seems to have its own wish
It wishes me to wither into ashes

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
I find myself
Detaching

I leave the mortal self
of mine
in search of immortal truth

My truth may be a lie to you
But, your truth may not be so

Truth and lie
Cry side by side
On a lonely hill
With a withered tree

Unspoken
Unmitigated
They try to get a
Closure

Whilst life seemed
Like cherry trees in full bloom
I find myself in endless autumn

Trying find the withered leaves
which took my memories away
