I wish my love healed you

When I close my eyes.....the first thought that comes to my mind is "I wish my love healed you" Every time I kissed your eyes.....I prayed to God to dry your tears I would lay on your chest and hear your heart beating, and ask God to stitch up the wounds others left behind Watching you as you slept, arms clenched under the pillow, I prayed you'd always be this peaceful even when you're awake You would no longer need to get high to chase your anxieties away Or drown your insecurities at the bottom of a vodka bottle When you became overwhelmed with emotions, you would never feel the need to raise your hands and inflict pain on others This was all I prayed for.... I wish my love healed you....and turned you into the man I knew you could be The one who would hold my hands and dance with me on a Saturday evening while we barbequed outside The man who would keep me safe, and never raise his voice or his hand Where peace existed in the crevices of your soul, and it shone bright on those around you bringing joy and comfort I would have still smelled your perfume and looked into your eyes We could have woken up next to each other every morning, and made love all night My one wish in this whole world......I WISH MY LOVE HEALED YOU
