The Desert.

I would enjoy the desert.
The desert would be nice.
In the desert, cold can't hurt;
only at night.

In the desert, I'd be alone,
without a map, without a phone,
but the desert would be nice,
because of the warmth that sets it's price.

In the desert, there would be sorrow,
there would be loneliness,
but there would be a certain homeliness
promised by tomorrow.

I am alone,
all by myself,
braving the unknown,
in very bad health.

I have grown old,
she has grown cold,
If only I had been told,
Our love would not have been sold.

She kept me warm,
she set the norm,
She was the light,
on my blackest nights.

Now we have to forget,
the memories,
all we've made,
together.

She's moved on,
but not I.
I have a little while longer
before I move to the desert.
The place of warmth.
The only place where loneliness and happiness
coexist.


"I love her so,
I can't let her go.
I looove you,
OOH, baby I love you!"

Swift, Abrupt and Devastating.

Well, it's arrived.
Judgement day.
The end of all days.
After days of losses,
days of anger,
days of angst,
we've parted.
The eternal flame
has been extinguished.
The flame that burnt so bright,
the flame that led the way,
the flame that prevailed,
has been snuffed.
The warmth is now absent.
The cold is seeping to my bones.
I must depart,
seek warmth,
broaden my horizons.

But,
if the flame returns,
if a bonfire ensues,
believe me,
I will be back
in it's arms once again.

But, for now,
I must go.
Seek the warmth
that a flame can provide.
