Dehydrated


Days when you were always around

So much of you it was even possible to drown

I remember when I took you for granted

Granted, I never knew your enchantment

Now, all that is left of you is a tear

Not enough to survive another day on I fear

All I can think of is how I should've saved you

You're all I care for and crave too

I plead, one last drop on my barren lips

Without you, the sun is eclipsed

Hopefully the thought of you will make me stronger

Because I can't endure this pain much longer

My body is starting to feel frigid as the night

Maybe someday I'll find you where there is light

Sadly, it's hard to keep my eyes open I'm falling asleep

I hope they won't stay closed making my life complete
