Desperado

An aimless desperado
A cowboy dressed in black
Leaving a trail behind you
And never looking back

Spurred on by inner longing
A drive that keeps you strong
No ties that you can cling to
When the night is long

Unforgiving days of desert heat
No water to quench your thirst
Nothing that will hold you
Till you exercise that curse

Searching, never finding
And still the trail leads on
A duel between the heart and mind
A fight that won’t be won
