Thirst

When I think of fates worse than death

All I can think of is something you said

You said we were golden, bright like the sun

And now I am stranded

Knowing I’m not the one

An ocean of anger

Flowing through me

Blood stained and broken

From when I fell to sea

And just like a snake charmer

You led me astray

Living in distress

Hoping help is on the way

In the midst of a storm

Searching for shelter

I came upon

One single feather

A half-hearted wish

For something better

Gracefully cursed, I thirst

Attached to the soil

I’m guiding the wool

As I am in my blood

Yet so venerable

But after I’m gone

Once I finally leave

You will be left alone

To the wolves and the thieves

In the midst of a storm

Searching for shelter

I came upon

One single feather

A half-hearted wish

For something better

Gracefully cursed, I thirst

Gracefully cursed, I thirst

Gracefully cursed, I thirst

I thirst
