i wish...

i wish i could write
so i could describe for you
the sights and sounds
that are still
so familiar

i wish i could write
so i could describe for you
the lights, the traffic, the cathedrals
and the many, many people

i wish i could write
so i could explain to you
how i'm home
but not
belonging
but not

i wish i could write
so i could explain to you
the sigh in my heart
as i sit in my window
loving it
still longing for somewhere else
or even
somewhere else again

i wish i could write
so i could tell you
how much i miss you
and how much i wish
that we could
all of us
be together again

i wish i could write
so i could convince myself
that a life torn in three
or thousands
can be put back together
somehow

i wish i could write
so i could tell you
what's really up
cuz simple words
are insufficient

if only i could write...
