I Wish

I wish I could fall out of this
dusty pane of unwashed reality
Fall into the grassy plains of serenity
The tall, tranquil fields of heather and wildflowers
Rubbing the peace into my pores
Savoring the sweet taste of freedom
I wish I could remove the parasite from my unwilling flesh
The tapeworm that devours my nurturance
Sucking away at my essence
Leaving me cold, useless, paralyzed in nothingness
I wish for the removal of physical pain
The heartaches, passions and mourning
That envelops this world as its permanent captive
When shall I be free from you, desire
I wish you damnation of eternal flame
The fire you've caused within my soul
