Shortcomings

I wish with my heart,
I could say the words that so closely come out of my mouth.

I wish more than life,
The expression I hold within my eyes could pour out and
Become a part of your life.

I wish more than anything,
I had the strength and understanding to
Take on my back the burdens that slow your forward attack.

I wish with all of my gifts,
That I was good enough to be your
Next, your last, and your never-ending looking glass.

I wish without doubt, that
I could be yours for time and throughout.
