Embrace me my beloved for I panic
when in isolation
Dry desert winds scorch away at
my shriveled up heart
Sand has grazed my tender toes
that curl to stop the burning
The cactus have pricked my most
treasured emotions
I can sense a desert storm
forthcoming
Nowhere to escape the sudden
death of your memories
My lips have cracked for lack of
yours that moistened them
Trembling under this unknown icy
chill
Almost bleeding for lack of warm
attention from your touch
My chest is caving in to try and
send away the haunting ghosts
That is your memory within my
soul
My arms have been weakened
refusing to hold close another
You are the only safety my heart
knew
All I have now
Is this photograph that is the
only reminder of your existence
My feet refuse to move away from
this place we called home
Knees knocking against each other
simply because they can
I am a shadow of myself in the
midst of cruelty
Before you I was seeping from the
cup of never falling in love
I melted in disdain without your
intensifying aphrodisiac words
I crave your presence that kept
me sensible and unruffled
It is a sudden wasteland… my
heart, my mind, my body, my soul
The last song with keys that have
refused to play loud
Keeps replaying in my worn-out
consciousness
You need to be back before winter
steals away my cold skin
I can only explain it this way,
that
You have left a barren region
where fertility was
I have become a shell, empty
within because I need you so much
Battle fields that have been
abandoned is what my world has become
Only falling again when I try to
climb up
Out of this misery that has
become a daily dose of tranquilizer
I swallowed my pride to surrender
to your snuggly arms
I want not to surrender to this
throbbing in my chest
All I want is to be alright
without your suggestively armored kiss
Temperately I take every
impossible footstep towards being alright
This desert will not break my
resolve of becoming whole
As terrifying as walking blindly
without you
Or the torture of sleeping alone
may seem
I have won the war of the fear of
losing this love eternally
I have been a broken hearted soul
for far too long
I will erase it all
At the end of it all, your heart,
soul, flesh will no longer be in mine
