A Glimpse of My Love Strength

I am
starving
for what 'well-fed'
might feel like.
I feel full
of you - and yet - 
so far 
from you.
- Feed this broken body.
Catch a glimpse 
of my love strength.
You placed a hand on my swollen belly. 
I burst into ugly tears.
I am for the hunger. 
I feel the ugliest pain.
