Best Wishes

Be careful what you wish for
In case it breaks your heart
How artlessly he gasped in consternation
As he pricked his thumb upon love’s poison dart

He filtered out the static
He battened down the hatch
But an itch came crawling all along the surface of his calm demeanour
And he’s powerless to hold back from the scratch
His temper’s triggered, there’s no safety catch

Be careful what you wish for
It’s breaking like a seventh wave
He stands stock still in dread anticipation
For after all the wishes are washed away
For after all the wishes we’re washed away
