The Wanderer Part Two

I grabbed her hand Hope and love sweling Mixing into an enticing brew Whose flavor brought forth all the wild creatures from the desert araound me. They applauded m success and ran back for their's But I had the luck of the blessed I held her hand tight Told her who I was She nodded Her light engulfed me Suddenly my fright swelled inside What if she left too? The dark roadis too hard for me now. She grabbed my hand Told me she loved me In twelve seconds she smelt my fear tasted my love Tired of my existence and departed I was rooted to the spot Her flesh's warmth had yet to leave my palm when she passed into the sunset Shock numbed my feet Shock numbed my tongue It was dark Darker than it had been Too dark to breath Too dark to walk I fell by the roadside To the vultures Even crawling was too hard I poked out my eyes So no more beauty could touch my soul I cut off my feet So I could not walk It took all of two seconds for the vultures to come My end is here But death is preferable to pain I welcome the big grey birds."
