desert-ed love

i've disappeared to the distance
                                           in your voice
carrying old words into an argument
that stubborn mind, much like an ass'
riding through the lands, searching for what's been lost

little girl, dry those tears before the rainbow comes
these hot days, drought out the water
leaving emptiness


never the warmth of the lover's arms
   that once pushed me out
sweating alcohol to find pools of sorrow
blood is all i have - spilling would do no justice

dying within the heat of this void
  the blackness of mind
just to see what's almost forgotten
