I wish I could put us on rewind
to the beginning when we were fresh
and your energy for me strong.
I wish I could somehow pull back
words that you twisted
and listened to on the wrong decimal.
I wish, I wish,
I wish I didn't still hurt so much
from your constant pounding.
I wish I could make smooth
the cracks
removing splinters
set aright again.

I wish I didn't hurt so much
I wish I wasn't so depressed.
