The Nomad

He opens his eyes. He's still alive. His throat hurts, it's parched dry. He hasn't had a single drop of water since when he ran away from the last Oasis. Mindlessly, blindly, not caring about the consequences. He'd run. Run from where he had been happy, where he didn't have to worry about dying of thirst or hunger. He'd run as far as his legs would carry him.

And then he fell and that was all he remembered.

The Final Goodbye

It's been a long time,
silences have stopped speaking,
the cruelty of spoken words
has the eyes of thought leaking.

I look into the eyes,
waiting for some sound of hope
waiting for the lips to smile
to laugh, to untie this rope.

But we both know that neither
would make the first move,
we both know that it'll be
as it was before, equals love.

I reach up, our fingertips meet,
cold, clammy, like fresh sleet.
It's not skin that I feel, no,
it feels like glass, cold as steel

I look up, staring into the mirror,
I see myself where you'd been,
I see the fingers meeting, yet apart,
you were just an illusion I'd seen.

The spell is broken, you're gone forever
no how's, no where, no why,
The curse of our distance smiles at me,
with my own lips..

It's the final Goodbye.

The Price of a Heart

Tears and smiles, the heartfelt vows,

a happy heart, life's thens and nows.

Today I see, what could have been,

that didn't last to the future, now unseen.

It took all my might, all my heart.,

I tried every time, with every fresh start.

It took a lot of me, to break the ice,

but it was my heart, I was ready for the price.

It was all for you, to keep you safe,

'cuz bullets from your hearts, you couldn't strafe,

I was saving you from yourself, trying to keep you alive,

I had made that my purpose, my need to strive.

The bullets that didn't reach you,

I can feel each wound they left,

the tears that you didn't shed,

have left my eyes bereft.

I went down, to keep you afloat,

to save you from your own castle, I swam your moat.

Yet to this day, you couldn't be mine,

my heart was at stake, I payed the fine.

I didn't pay the price 'cause you asked me to,

You never asked for my heart, I gave it to you.

The price was mine to pay, from the very start,

it was the price for love, the price of a heart.....
