I was asked how I know
How I could be so sure
They insisted I was wrong
But provided no proof
That they were right
I have moments, I see them
In the person
I saw it in you
Staring me in the eye
I am sure
I have been here before
Seen the body language
And the sigh in the voice
I know, You don’t like me
One
One single
Alone
A hint of two
A glimpse of more
One more
Still less
Smaller then want
One
Don’t be mistaken
An orphan
Is not afraid
Lonely
Tired
Lost
Despair
Unavoidable in the eye
Watching the world
In search
Of reason and faith
Finding the failure of both
Careful
In speech in action
Defined in decisions made
But no fear
Too hollow
For it to live
The wide-open desert is very cold in summer
Look at all the footsteps you’ve left behind
Feel the grains of sand go between your toes
I miss winter, the warmth it brings
The sun is beating on my back. I can’t stop
Where are the delirious?
I see no oasis in the distance
Just move sand to put behind me
Nightfall is so far away
My mind can’t rest then
I miss my warmth
The desert is so cold
My letters can only be words
On the page
Unless you care
Unless you know
And unless you try to understand
When I am gone
They will still be
Words on a page
Tired and battered
From lies and tricks
Slow coming
Hindered by tears
Everytime my heart breaks
These are just my life
Scripted, and abbreviated
Without willingness
My emotions will always be
Lost on you
Unable to process the
Passion and pain
Left on me
