dying Hope

I wish you existed ; I wish you were real
I wish you were there to take away the pain
Be my salt when I need the comfort
Be the energy within my soul
Be the savior when I am hurt

I wish you existed ; I wish you were real
You could be the struggle when I need a revolution
Be the rebellion when I need a change
Be the voice when I need a conscience
Be hope when everything seems strange

I wish you existed ; I wish you were real
To support the laugh when I seek ecstasy
Be the lover when I seek pleasure
Be my tears when I seek grief
Be the dwelling when I seek shelter

I know you exist but you are not real
And yet you are the essence of life
Imperceptibly, you change the way I feel
My perception , for you , is just a device
