In the heat of the moment, you said those hard words and they pierced my heart deeply. They were so poisonous and unexpected that I couldn't think for a moment or answer you back. They belittled me so much that I really became that person, so useless and expendable, you could easily get rid of.
You had your opportunity and you took it, no matter what I thought or felt.
And so, when you realized your mistake, you came because you wanted to make it up for me, but it was late, I had become nothing and nothing I remained.
When the heat was over and only coldness persisted.
When the world stopped its movements and everything seemed frozen.
When the stars were bright less and the moon was not mine anymore.
When birds were silent and flowers refused to bloom.
When there were no more tears to shed and my eyes were dry.
When my movements were slow and my feet took me nowhere.
When my memories haunted me and I couldn't share them.
When I found myself with my arms empty and no one to embrace.
I realized you were gone and I just wanted to fade away.
Heat, unbearable and extreme.
Sun, high up in the sky all day long and powerful.
Desert, an endless land and a deadly trap.
No water to refresh our throats or skin.
No strength in our muscles to go on walking.
No rest because it could bring your own death.
Heat and thirst were our worst companions.
Sun and tiredness torturing an exhausted and stranded Army.
Dreams and wishes shattered but still willing to become true.
Desert and death waiting for us, above us like hungry vultures.
But my will to follow you up to the end, still strong and free.
