Dark Necessities.

 My eyes gaze 

At a sinking desert sun 

The light is blinding 

So pure 

My heart is filled with love and longing 

In equal measure 

The love of you lingers 

The longing moves in so quickly 

An aching takes residence 

In your absence 

Dry earth 

Then the flood 

Moods shifting like the weather 

A desert is like love 

Rewarding and punishing simultaneously 

I wander this desert of my own making 

Screaming to the skies above 

To bring me your love 

To let it fall down upon me 

My life force 

I wear your embrace like a bruise 

Slow to fade after the moment has expired 

Things that don’t mean shit to you 

Swallow my entire existence 

You carved your name into my heart 

Now I need you to lick the scar 

Make your way back to me 

This desert is meant for two 

One just doesn’t do 

These dark necessities are feeding on me 

C’mon reach for my hand again 

Silence these hauntings 

All I want is to find my home 

Buried in you 

Like rotting bones
