Oasis

Mental contract
 I've said hello, I can't take it back
  And now you've shown me that I cannot be
   Anything but your idea of me

Tethered being
 I can't interpret what I'm feeling
  I let it hurt, because I let it be
   Is it so wrong to want to see

Something easy
 My wasted efforts never pleasing
  Yet here I am just like before
   My eager blood spilled on the floor

Nearly broken
 An aging beast in an empty ocean
  Writhing in the stinging wind
   I did not want to do this again

Nearly stasis
 I suffer on towards the next oasis
  While in my mind, the likely conclusion
   That I'm inching towards the next illusion
