without rain
I slowly wilt, next to your
hateful flame
Blazing too hot for me
to endure.
As I sink to the ground
I wish I were sure
that the path I have chosen
won't end up exposing
the roots of my hope
So somehow I live
with this burning
that surrounds me like Death
When all I wish for is a breath
of the soft cool air
Freedom's kiss
that's always in sight
I long so to take flight
recklessly reaching for fresh air
Laying once again
All I am bare....
