Draining Desert

My love drains away,
Dampened by the dirt
Cactus prick my heart
And bleed away the hurt

Life becomes a lie
My soul hidden from me
Lost somewhere
My eyes no longer see

I can’t feel the beat
The love or the hate
A wall around my heart
Which I did not create

Layers of dirt
Hide what has been done
The red turns to naught
Faded by the sun

Brain becoming hazy
Disconnected from the rest
Life no longer real
Everything repressed

My being turns to sand
Falling every day
Waiting for God
To make colors from this gray.
