desert rose

  
a faraway breeze carried you from my side
I saw you leave and whispered wait, don't go
you didn't hear my protests
 
I held my heart tight  
it threatened to follow where you had gone
but there was no room for me
 
so I fought my passion  
biting my lip
and keeping my desires to myself
 
your love light glows afar off
she sparkles in the distance
so go you must
 
I smile inside myself
knowing you are happy
you were never mine anyways
 
just an infatuation  
a blooming desert rose
for this weary traveler
 
masculine but tender is your night shine
the winds of fate gave me your friendship
it's something of value
something I highly prize
