Where is the Water?

A hushed whisper calls me

To the place where grass never grows,

And the waters have dessicated,

With all the lies my mouth has given.

I am a lie.

Not dark, nor white.

But, free from its own regrets.

As I walk on this dead land,

I feel the wind on my face:

What else can I give to this world, this empty void?

Nothing.

Everything that I am has faded.

All that remains is memory.

On my last step,

I recall her smile...

The one thing that deserves truth.
