If only I could take your tears,
Pluck them pearl by pearl
And align them one by one
In a necklace made of words
In a string of comfort
And let them drift off the hurt.

I wish I could take that pain,
Soothe the heart aching in vain
And flick a wand
Cast magic,
Spell by spell
Let the pain dissolve in pixie dust,
In the ash.

I wish I could let you hear,
Every wish and every prayer.
Show my naked emotions,
Let you kiss them,
Bruise by bruise
Smile by smile.
