I wish to be your wind,

the breeze in your hair on the Nantucket shore,

as you traipse across sand, praying for more.

I wish to be your sail,

tethering you to this wretched home.

I wish to be your storm,

the tears that stream down your face for every soul you mourn.

I wish to be your lifeline,

but I beg of you,

Give me a chance, a moment, anything,

to show you I am just as worthy of your misery.

I wish you could understand that

you could love me too.
