Draining

The drought has come

And all that remains are the footprints you left behind

They haunt me and taunt me

Telling me that I should have walked with you

That I should have ran along side you

But would that really kept you here longer

Would that really made you stay until the drought was gone

This emptiness has dried me up more than the dry land

I am dying

And there is no rain in sight

No cup of water near to quench my thirst

Nothing to revive me

I am diminishing and I have nothing to alleviate it

How much more can life keep draining from me

How much longer until this broken heart is healed again...
