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
