A lonely tear.
The parched soil.
The endless stretch.
Of a salty track.

A single touch.
Consolidates.
A hardened heart.
Of brittle chards.

And cut me.
As I do you.
As he does her.
And none do me.

I do not care.
Leave dry my lips.
Evaporate.
And save yourself.

I want to die.
But still I fear.
The schrapnel.
Burns.

Just leave me.
Anywhere.
I, still.
Don't care.

Single whiskey.
Single chair.
Alone the cross.
I bear.
