Betrayal or indifference
the silent killer garbed in blue
the lacy attire
i'm spacebound and here it's all blue

I keep going higher
the hands you dealt me
iron or ice
hard and cold like the truth

The desert cactus
can't crawl to the oasis
all it does is gracefully wait
and looks upward to the blue sky

Following suite i look down
hoping you'll see
i'm lost and lonely
between the shades of blue of the sky
and the ocean

The wilted cactus and me
sailing the same blue boat
abandoned and castaway
aground
the anchor drowned

This is the end of all means
to keep afloat
and also the beginning
collecting the smithereens

Like seaweeds carpeting the ocean
and choking it to death
the silent killer garbed in blue
swallowed all my words too...

Which rolled down as tears
yes i cried
when you left
though you were hardly there
even when you were around

The solace now laid to rest
cemeteries of fallen cheers
the wilted cactus died
and i'm still spacebound
awaiting the same fate....
