Unlasting

I feel 
the pain 
of absent truths 
the proof 
is in my actions. 
The lack of feelings 
I'm dealing with 
make me realize 
theres only a fraction 
of happiness. 
but I want it all 
cuz I recall 
the better days, 
but that was a ways 
away. 
My thirst is profuse 
which the use of water 
cannot dilute. 
I'm voracious 
but my hunger 
is tenacious 
and tough. 
Bread alone 
is not enough. 
You knew, 
I knew, 
we all knew 
the truth. 
The proof 
of unlasting happiness 
is evident 
and I've spent 
just about 
enough time 
trying 
to proove otherwise. 
My cries 
overpower 
my hour 
of worldly happiness. 
I guess I feel 
fed up. 
times up 
im done.
