Recharge

eyes too dry to cry
throat too sore to scream
lips too chapped to speak
mind too sad to dream

my emotions have drained away
in a raging flood of angry tears
leaving me here to suffer
an empty shell of a person
devoid of all feelings
dead inside

I need to recharge
but my charger is too far away
so I'm slowly draining
and I will drain until I die
and then my shell
my husk
my corpse
will live on without consciousness

until
someone plugs the charger in
and powers me back to life
with a surge of emotion
so powerful 
so strong
and yet so gentle
a simple embrace
and again
I live
