Desert me

Desert me—

                In the sand

                Drop me off

                Let me fall back down

                Don’t think twice about leaving

                I’ll never trust my advice

Desert me—

                So I can find water

                Leave me stranded

                Let the rain flow downstream

                Don’t lead me to it

                I’ll never learn to swim

Desert me—

                In the wild

                Flee in your get-away

                Let me be with my devices

                Don’t enable me to need you again

                I’ll never make it on my own

Desert me—

                So I will grow

                Abandon me and run away

                Let me take root and blossom

                Don’t feel bad for what you’ve done

                I’ll never be afraid of loneliness

Desert me—

                You will be the one that feels lost

                When it’s all said and done
