I wish I was a deserted island
Far from the pain
Far from the knowing

I wish I were flying through
A cloud dotted sky
The wind blowing in my face
Taking the tears away

I wish I never met anyone
My heart would still be whole
My soul wouldn't be so weary
From all it's trials.

What doesn't kill you
Is supposed to make you stronger
What doesn't kill you
Simply takes longer

Wounds heal
Reactions learned
Defenses erected
So why is my heart still broken?

I wish I could build a wall
That could not break
A wall that would keep me
Safe and warm

There is no such wall
But I wish there was
I wish there was a place
Where the hurt was gone
