Hunger In the Dark
It is light everywhere
Everywhere but in my room
Here it is dark and dreary
The solitude confining and deep
I am lost in a world of hurt
I hunger for something more
Something no mere man can provide me
The lust I have for what I desire
Is a dark, dangerous passion
Biting, choking, cutting, slapping
Drinking the thick heart pumped fluid
In a darkened room
In the flicker of the flame
The hunger, the lust, the desire
All an unattainable dream away
So here I sit in dreary grey
I sit, I watch, I pretend
That normal things are ok
Hiding behind the knowledge
That the light that is everywhere
But on me or in my room
To me is mediochre and dull
But it will do for now
Until I can take no more
Of this mundane stuff
And then I will take what I need
From some pitiful creature
That will never be enough
To satiate my needs
