Your Shadow

Cracked and dry; bitter heat is burning through the sky.
Your name sitting heavy on my tongue,
Like grains of sand that never come undone.
You left me in the desert alone; half-charged battery on my phone.
I see bottles, skies too far,
Counting cracks across my heart.
Every step just turns to past, dust of everything we had.
You left me buried in the hurt and I still taste you in the dirt.
Postcard from a roadside gas station,
Folded like a quiet accusation.
Wish you were here and faded in; funny how that makes me think.
You left me in the desert alone,
Half-charged battery on my phone.
