Desert
Desert by Bernice
I searched for an oasis,
In this vast, bleak land.
But all I saw was dusty skies,
And an endless stretch of sand.
My lips, chapped and dry,
My eyes, drained of tears to cry.
Darkness creeps in,
And emptiness invades
This bleeding heart of mine
That was rightfully yours to take.
My ears ringing with deafening silence,
My hands sting in the sun's burning furnace,
A fool am I,
To have believed in your words
That you'd find me in this place
Where hoplessness surge.
My feet, worn from the heated ground,
My lips part, my voice, a scratchy sound.
I walk and I sink deeper
Into the sands of heartbreak
Losing my soul eventually,
Leaving an empty heart in its wake
Another poem from bernice. and i simply love this poem. simple but touching.
