Cravings
All is empty until made whole,
In need aren't we all.
So what without aren't you full?
What possesses you to fall?
What substance do you crave?
Maybe a perfect lover.
So what words will you engrave-
In the heart or another?
What words do you go without,
That sharpens the knife,
What sentence gets cut out,
From the pages of your life,
What desire makes your quest,
Maybe a pain reliever for time.
To hault the feelings in your chest,
So happiness you can find.
So if an emptiness bares a task,
Don't live without any more.
Face the mirror of life and ask,
What am I looking for ?
