wishing wells of the heavens // don’t you understand?

three wishing wells for you to choose from, pick the one that suits your mood (but here’s your warning, in which you cannot say you’ve never read: consequences come attached, to every miracle come true. yes, choose your wishes wisely and be brave enough to take them too).

i. wishing wells for hoping // desire sits on your tongue knowing, / yet, / still shunned, tell me / how long do you / let it rest there / before letting it melt into / something worth regretting? / please beware / this well for / hoping, it contains the fire / of fueling desire, / expectations rarely fickle / but nonetheless, dangerous things. / but to end on a / pleasant note keep / in mind, this reward / if the price is right, / wishing wells / for hoping / tend to remind / many of their youthful / journies, yes / like when i hoped my / daddy’d make it / on the thireteenth / of july, / my eighth birthday. /

ii. wishing wells for dreaming // lucid thoughts are terrifying / it’s like being your / own shadow and / not knowing it (and damn / do i hate it). / yes, come here if / you’re wanting something / that feels like you’ll / never be obtaining or / taunts you with it’s / future that you plead to be / your own. / please beware / this well for / dreaming, it always begins with / your questioning, all the / if‘s but’s and wannabe’s. / but to end on a / pleasant note keep / in mind, wanting something more than / you have, leads to the art of /achieving and proves there’s / a reason for living, / yes, i used this / wishing well / for dreaming / at age thirteen when i wanted / more than anything / to be like those writers / who’s series i manage to read / in hours. /

iii. wishing wells for yearning // means offering your tears along with / the actual asking for / your longing to end / and tears to finally mean / something. but this one / only works if you know / precisely what you’re missing / not half heart attempts, / no, this means everything. / please beware / this well for / yearning, it makes your remember / all your leaving dropped / from the package called / ”moving on”. / but before you / sigh and believe this another / misdirection by / fate’s cruel hand, / just know that if / reentering the past / at the cost of your / longing, means / you’ll remember certain things / more correctly, (unless your past / still haunts and that’s / the reason behind your / longing). / yes, i went through / all this when i reached / nineteen and thought of my last / love and wanted to reconnect / the strength of our loving, / but at last, just like / before it didn’t work / and by the second time / our falling apart hurt worse / (’cause i let it slip through my fingers / two times in a row). /

so attempt to hold the stars, (here’s your kind regards if you succeed), and choose your wishing well carefully; something’s not always better than nothing and most consequences appear when karma’s started falling.
