Life Long Gone
If my hunger held you over
there would be nothing you would need
you could dine on my desire
and be sated from the feed
If my words were strong enough
you could be kept from the cold
I would wrap you in the verses
with the stories I have told
If my aching cleanses wrongs
redemption would be found
apologies and intentions
leave me tethered to the ground
If my sadness makes you real
then real you seem to be
I have a purpose urging
sadly longing to be free
