I stand in your shadow,
You block my sight, the sun, everything dark,
Can't get too close to move you,
You're bigger, stronger, and cause me pain,
The mighty cactus stands before me,
Fear strikes me, tension thick enough to feel,
The air is too dry, I can feel my tongue losing the taste of life,
Something I need, we could help each other, open up and give up what we hold inside,
But no.
You're gone.
You've left.
Now you block another.
I see nothing but light,
But you've trapped another poor soul,
You are the bully, cactus of my desert.
