You consume and consecrate like a locust
In the heat of a summer night;
A mirage of your face casts before me in the
Hellfire of a southern prairie.
The scorched ends of my eyelids struggle
To see through the sunlight;
I can no longer see you.
You've packed up and left behind a dust bowl.
A large section of my heart is left empty
And hollow;
It's a place you've decimated to the very end
Until I am left with nothing more.
I'm used up.
My heart has been reduced to ashes
Where your wild fire caught me.
I am withered like the edges of thirsty leaves
And blackened;
My soul is cauterized with the flame
Of remorse and grief.
I'm an oil derrick shifting restlessly
Up and down hoping to salvage
What is left our love in a drying well;
A lonely machine working around the clock.
I'm just a faded polaroid blanketed by dust...
Emaciated and hopeless.
I wish you could feel how heartbroken
You've made me!
Hangman's noose snaps under the weight of
Whisky and bygone memories.
You've consumed me like a locust.
