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 what i failed to see

and just like a snake charmer

you led me astray

living in distress

hoping help was 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 dyed in the wool

there's iron in my blood

yet so vulnerable

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
