I Had To

I am gnawing on the remains of my last meal with tears in my eyes It still tastes like you It was full of your memories I had to do it I ate my soul with the hope of becoming a mere shadow of you Now all I have to do is wait

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
