Writing Desert Losses

[Iron Otaku]

The light of the sands blind me
Trudging through the deserts of humanity
Faith and hope hath fled from me
Is there no rest for the weary?

The crimson hues intertwine behind me
The cerulean aura shines ahead
Beyond the reach of mortal man
Lies true love that I am unworthy of

Luck has not been with me in the past
My simple desires are denied always
My thoughts and feelings are the last
When your mind happens to wander to me

Why can't I gather strength?
Why hath courage fled me?
Why has misfortune seeked me out?
Why can't the heat just kill me now?
