Writing Resources from Fifteen Minutes of Fiction

In The Desert

The heat saps my energy
As I shuffle slowly through.
The sun beating down on me
Makes it harder to get to you.

It was so easy back when,
When it was cool and calm.
Now I ache for your touch,
Your soothing words like a balm.

I'm stuck here in this heat.
Tasting the bitterness of defeat.
You can save me from this wreck,
But I've lost faith along the trek.

Won't you revive me,
Forge me anew?
All I long for
Is to be with you.
