Slave To the Unavailable

With eyes closed
And arms open,
Unbalanced conjoinment leaves souls hungry for that which they so deserve
Yet do not receive
This starvation 
Blended with desire and need
Creates false perception
That lives hidden still-,
When eyes open
And arms closed,
Emptiness and anger inundated by fatigue fuel this hunger
As the balance slowly returns
And the slavery comes to an end.
