i wish i were your remedy

i wish i were
your remedy,
a face you seek
to dry your tears.

i wish i were
your remedy,
a hand you reach
through the thunder.

i wish i were
your remedy,
a lap you sleep
on after rain.

i wish i were
your remedy,
a word you read
to sleep in fear.

- in reality, she is
your remedy.
