Insatiable Hunger
Insatiable Hunger
Yes,
The bread, salt, and water --
I had them every day,
and I took them for granted.
Instead, I was missing
soda, ice cream, and candy.
You were my daily bread,
somebody to whom
I could confess
All my worries and hopes.
All the problems of my day
I could share with you.
Now, you are gone forever;
I hope that you are happy
In heaven.
My daily bread is gone.
You were my daily bread,
somebody to whom
I could confess
All my worries and hopes.
Somebody with whom
I could share
all the problems
Of my day.
Now, my entire life had changed.
This strange world around looks
So empty.
And I feel an insatiable hunger.
Oh, God,
For how long it will be possible,
To survive only
On a soda, ice cream and candy?
