I Was Everything
You brought me on a trip
You said lets get away to see the desert
The mountains, and open sky
Then you drove me hard into the sand
Believing I would still carry you
Even in my discomfort
I was wrapped in grainy beauty
Sinking into the place you wanted for me
and when I was fully stuck
You left me there
All alone
You just walked away.
And I sat under the starry skies
And the days passed overhead like clouds
And I waited for your return
But Instead others came
Climbed on me
Broke out my windows
And tore down my doors
Left me a skeleton
And I waited
Cause that was all I could do.
Waited and waited and waited
Until I felt I was part of the desert,
part of the mountains,
Part of the sky.
Then she came
Her bare feet tiptoeing over me
saying a prayer
To remind me of who I was before
She painted me back to life
Under the sky of forever
And when she left, she told others of me
And they visited with reverence and peace
And I was not alone
And I was everything.
