[ WP ] A genie that grants wishes , but only after the wisher changes their mind about wanting whatever it is they wished for .

A stroll hand in hand, rolling waves our guide, 
 Our lips make the sun rise on command 
 As a bottle gently gleams brushing onto the sand 
 And our hands reach into the waking tide. 
 
 The mesmerizing swirl of an eerie blue glow 
 Has us pulling until our smiles fade 
 And our strength is sapped, happiness swayed, 
 Leading us to enact a raging throw. 
 
 An explosion of magic amidst the shatter 
 Entices a beastly form to appear, 
 A hulking giant has us quiver in fear 
 Though able to run; so both of us scatter. 
 
 So we sprint away, from each other and it, 
 But find ourselves facing the creature once more 
 And ca n't look away, can not ignore, 
 The prickling voice on our breaking spirit. 
 
 But the prick subsides, and minds turn to ease, 
 It smiles and explains what we must do: 
 A single-minded wish, that will come true; 
 Whatever we ask, whatever we please. 
 
 Without a thought, we think our desire, 
 The beast chuckles with a beastly smile 
 Erupting in sparks, then after awhile, 
 Fades into a fading azure fire. 
 
 We expected a change as part of our yearning 
 But there is no difference, in body or mind; 
 Confused we search but can not find 
 The beast to help in our discerning. 
 
 As days turned to weeks, to months, then to years, 
 We forgot such a day, thinking it only a dream, 
 And such a practice became a common theme; 
 Thoughts to ourselves, secretive dreams and fears. 
 
 We thought we had an undying connection 
 But realized age was a thickened mist 
 Clouding reality when hugged and kissed 
 And decided to part from our dead affection. 
 
 But as we said goodbye in apathetic disdain 
 We both heard that laughter from the beach that day, 
 And trying our best to walk away 
 We found ourselves facing each other in pain. 
 
 A wish never granted until becoming a hex, 
 If only it was a lifetime of torment; 
 That would be an infinitely sweeter advent 
 Than being stuck for eternity with your ex.
