Unfulfilled

In this darkness where shadows crawl
There is a hole that awaits
Unfulfilled and tarnished still
The longing seems to never abate

Oh how distant cries are never heard
And waters lap along its shores
Withered shriveled waning wants
Blending into reality once more

Unheeded are those needs
Unsought are these truths
Unfortunate desperate souls
Simply soured and uncouth

Curled and at the bottom
Hiding in its shade
A twisted stranded version
Of what once was made

Echoing footsteps fall along the way
Silence heard loud and clear
Stronger yet than all the want
Is this blatant open fear

Unfulfilled and  needing
Endless blossoming night
Never letting go of the past
Steadily readying for the fight
