The Secret Wishes I Told To The Devil On My Shoulder

I wish the universe were smaller so I could put in on my bed and fall asleep all tangled up with it the way we always did when you meant everything to me.

I wish I could ride a bike and overcome my fear of everything (and ride away from you).

I wish I could bake all the suffering in the world into a pie and make you smile again.

I wish the sun would come up in the west for just one day so I could wake up backwards and undo all the mistakes I made while I was sleeping.


But then you would win, and sacrifice would mean nothing.
