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
Bloodstained 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
