"There is nothing to wish for" -May Swenson


[There is nothing to wish for]

I am wretched and defiled.
I ate my heart and smiled.
The caverns caged within my ribs
are dank, and cold, and tiled.


[There is nothing to wish for]

The thoughts this brain has sired
have left my body warm and tired.
Your quiet care was not enough -
It's your obsession I desired.


[There is nothing to wish for]

Nothing?
There is plenty to wish for.

I love the raw, in your face imagery, the hopelessness, and then the last minute optimism. Awesome. High five.

Your rhyme is smooth and strong... well done. The only wish worth wishing is to never wish to wish again...

I like the last line here. It is hopeful almost inspite of the previous admonitions. Very good write. -Gideon
