Desert Rain
You are a drop of rain in this endless desert.
Why should you bring me pain?
Should you not quench my thirst for cold while it is day?
Giving me life while I’m awake.
Fighting this sun for a thousand years is lonely.
But then you came, then you came.
And so, fighting this sun is now lonelier.
Now that I know that you are here, but forever away.
Why can’t you see, cold were the nights this past few years?
Always were bearable, but I had to fight.
So, I saw you, like fading mirage.
From then on, colder were the nights.
Then thinking of you, a secret I share only with my creator
All my past play like a child in the great sky dome.
With the stars all falling and piercing my arid lands.
Giving me sorrow, taking away all I have had.
Looking back all the days of this past year.
Shorter were these than my thousand years.
Yet, how could I’ve been without you all along?
To think of you, how long will I suffer, how long?
Perhaps I am just one of a thousand deserts.
Thirsting for the beauty of a fresh drop of rain.
Surely, in time, you’ll leave even before you’ve come
Never looking back, never looking back.
And so, before I think of myself as a forest.
Like him gluttoning over, but never hearing you.
I shall sever the bonds that in this heart rest.
For deserts are meant to be without you.
