I wish

Half open mouth
She smiled at you
She seemed free
To all who passed
I thought she was too beautiful
I wish I was her
So your eyes look at me
 
like they looked at her
 
Lying on the beach
Her long hair undone
Was she a mirage?
Who suddenly blinded you?
I thought she was too beautiful
I wish I was her
So you want me the way
 
you want
 
Would I have done the same for you?
Would I have left everything for you?
 
Leaning against you
Happy and consenting
Taking you away from me
Distant, indifferent
I thought she was too beautiful
I wish I was her
To make you suffer as much as
 
I suffered then
 
To make you suffer as much as
 
I still suffer.
