Hunger
The bounty that I'd hungered for
I gained yet spurned to dine
And behind the mirror looking
I feared its crumbs where mine.
Not that I was sated
From life's necessities
But left the the table waiting
On the plenty I could see.
Maybe I was hungry
From the outside looking in
Or that the bounty hungered for
Would take me back again.
Perhaps it was a hunger
That yearning takes away
And I no longer hungry
Had no reason now to stay.
