Its Never Enough For Me
It's never enough for me,
In this terrible deficit I dwell,
Lost in an overdraft of desires,
Reaching out repeatedly,
Yet forever tethered to you.
Where does this neediness arise?
An inquiry you never make,
Can you quench this hunger,
I ask again and again,
But never find fulfillment,
In mere words, one or two.
Our connection remains unbroken,
Always linked, never a concern,
Forever yours, my heart avows.
Yet I'm drowning in scarcity,
Engulfed in this profound lack,
We meet but once a year,
That moment resurfaces,
Where minus and plus converge,
Nourishing me for another season.
You promise to be there till the end,
Parting with a kiss, a bittersweet farewell,
For my time will surely come,
And when I'm gone,
The deficit will cease.
Until then, I crave your presence,
Longing to immerse myself,
To revel in your essence,
To savor life, in your embrace.
