Desiccate

dried up...

Wounds emptied my veins 

Speechless, weakened 

Cannot get up at all 

Lying, waiting 

Only the rain can mend 

Dew drops come 

Moisten my skin 

Before it desiccates

To be thrown away...

Author's Note

Word for the day: desiccate

Nicely portrayed in poetry.

Thank you. English is my second language so I enjoy learning unfamiliar words featured from an app. It is fun to have a writing exercise and each word is my motivation for a new piece.
