Desert Palms

I know you were never mine to begin with. Not that you are something to possess. (Maybe that was the problem). Anyway, I know you weren't mine (and I yours). Yet, I feel like I am losing you. Water running through my fingers.

Perhaps, if you were beyond becoming another's, above all possessing, an ideal that one only aspired to reach (as I thought you were), then my self-esteem wouldn't have taken such a hit.

Drip. Drip.

Desert Palms.

Dry Arid Lifeless.
