Nurture a Thought

How sad, how lonely, how frustrating it is When you keep looking, longing, searching for something you cannot find to fill a void in your heart that keeps growing expanding, engulfing your thoughts you can't let go of that desperate desire to consummate your relationship with the need; this space in your mind, a black hole Religious works don't fill it hope can't erase it, it tries to replace it love doesn't satiate it, greed devours it It overtakes me, drowns me, surrounds me It chokes my existence the need to release, to scream, to cry, to explode It imprisons me in its plan of inevitable destruction It is secret, it is rain, it is sinful, it is... My Desire
