his eyes burnt from the sun
Desperado tasted cool water on parched lips
          a voice from faraway
          I am here
a heavenly voice
soft hands on his nakedness
          pulling, tugging his hands
          you must help me if you are to live
Desperado blinked, blinked again
she dropped water into his eyes
          it blurred everything
          but he could see, he wasn't blind
as she tugged and pulled Desperado
could make out midnight-black hair
          hanging down in his face
          he tried to help her sit him up
he soon was sitting where he'd lain
"I'm not worth the effort, go away"
          My name is Faith,
          I found you and you're mine

Thank you, I also like that name, wonder why. Well, Desperado still has his quest, but now he has Faith.
