Hunger

Hunger As my youth approaches me so very quickly I discover the desires of my flesh It cries out for more and more! The hunger for touch has darkened my being The need for attention obtains me once more My close ones impart only what they can But I am never fullfilled Just to grasp the love I seek I turn to anyone, who will give me what I yearn for Never caring of the consequences for my need of fullfillment Never caring of who I hurt to get what I require The hunger envelopes me and overtakes my judgement So I seek the one who can cover my soul completely The being that can stop my search for another The one who can kill my flesh and sweep away the cries Until the hunger is no more By: Tammy R. Flanagan
