Wilderness

I’m lost without your wild heart leading me. 
Directionless and neglected. 
No North star leading me from the wilderness. 
A savage land where I cannot stake my claim.

How could you just run and leave me abandoned? 
Just walking long abandoned paths. 
Overgrown bushes with their spiky thorns. 
Left me bleeding and disoriented. 

If I start a fire and let the smoke billow up? 
Will you come to me once again, bringing help? 
Or will the wildfire just consume the wilderness? 
Leave my ashen body decaying to feed the new growth.
