Donna Ryduchowski Poet Lyric

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?
