Mirages

The vultures circle my body.
And even though I've lost everything,
I can't give in.

I crawl toward the only thing I see-
Light.
I don't know where I am going,
or where I'll end up.
But I know its better than dying.

Through my crusted eyes,
I see blue.
Water.

I slowly stand on my two dead legs,
using whats left of my energy to slowly limp toward the water.
As I get closer,
The further it seems to get.

My body gives out.
I am unable to move.
I feel the vultures nearing my dying body.
As I drift away, I see the water disappear.

Stupid Mirages.
