I was lost in the
Desert
You came and offered me
Water
You're the Serpent in the sand
You've watched me for days
Wondering the dunes
Till I could go no
Further
You're the Serpent in the sand
I saw a mirage
Of the boy I once loved
And as I brought the cool water to my lips
You said to me
"let it be"
You're the Serpent in the sand
I drank your water and you invited me in
And blindly
I followed
You're the Serpent in the sand
When you were done with me
Once you stripped me of my dignity
Once you left my heart bare
You discarded of me
I was lost in the dunes once again
And you're the Serpent in the sand
And I dreamt of you for weeks once I had reached
Civilization
I was scorched and wounded
Blindly
I let you in
Never again will I encounter another
Serpent in the sand
Never again will I follow a Serpent such as
You
My life is mine to lead. From this day onward. From now until my last breath. I will no longer allow a boy to rule over me. I will not be broken so low once more.
