Into the Desert

Walking away from my love and heart,
But it’s just as big as it was at the start.
I look back; the horizon is the same,
My longing for him, an undying flame.

Sweetness and love I treasured there,
I’m walking away to a land that’s bare,
Into the wilderness to wander alone,
To purge bad habits to which I’m prone…

Looking back to see how far I’ve come,
Still too close to where I started from,
Ah love, pain, and nights spent awake,
I’m walking on to heal this heartbreak.

Every step taken brings progress nye,
Time slowed down since we said goodbye.
I’ll keep going until this pain fades,
Then I’ll be able to rest in the shade.
