I wish I saw
The pain in your eyes
How fake you smiled
The sadness behind your smile

I wish I saw
The scars you wore
The tears you hid
The longing you felt

I wish I heard
Your muffled screams
Your whimpering cries
Your unsaid words

I wish I knew
The pain you suffered
The abuse you faced
The hurt you felt

I wish I knew
When you gave up
When you were done
When you were to leave

I wish I still had
You beside me
Listening to me
Smiling at me

I wish I were good
A good enough friend
For you to trust
For you to talk

Now I am lost
Lost without you
The light in my life
Gone forever.
