Forsaken Oasis

In the desert,
it quenches the thirsty,
something the lost
caravans wish for,
only source of water,
where the sun is merciless,
from far and wide,
the creatures gather,
the only hope
in the barren land,
such a promise for
lost souls,
but this one shall
be mistaken,
for a mirage
on the horizon,
it never got a chance
to give the life
it promised,
it never did,
Such is the life,
of a soul like mine,
a case of mistaken
identity
such is the fate of
a forsaken oasis*
