I've got hunger pains,
But it's not the hunger you think.
This is a hunger that never leaves my veins,
It has no out letting drains.
Food can only satisfy one need,
But it can't fulfill my hunger for love,
It can't sustain my veins that constantly bleed,
Nor can it meet the measurements of water to sustain hope's seed.
It can't provide sustenance for my malnourished heart,
Neither will it quench the thirst for relationship in my soul.
It will never fill the crevices in my aorta that's been torn apart,
And it definitely won't fill the void you left and make me once again whole.
The kind of food I need is not the physical kind,
It's the type that resonates far longer,
The kind that can sustain far longer than any material food one could find,
And it could even serve as wet cement to fill the cracks in my soul and make it stronger.But others have these cravings too,
And it's only available when it's freely given.
And granted we're all human even you,
It's only natural we are self serving it's undeniably true.
So it's only natural that you quenched your hunger with the love that I gave,
And ended the thirst in your soul via the time I donated to you.
I suppose the strong prey on the weak since they fear the grave,
This particular type of grave is worse than death it's a permanent emptiness so naturally the winner would be you.I'm afraid of this hunger because it turns me shallow,
Not quite empty yet,
But practically hallow,
Closer to a non-tangible death than I ever wanted to get.
It's a dog eat dog world I will admit,
But I wish it wasn't because I wasn't made for this,
I wasn't built to tear out hearts to fix the void in my chest.
It goes against every fiber of my being and I'd say it should horrify those who commit to it.
So in the end even though I've been robbed of my emotional nutrition,
I'd rather be empty and starving than guilty of thievery,
And I'm happier hallow than I would be if I would join in with negative ammunition,
So don't sacrifice your humanity to meet your needs,
The more you take the more you will have to commit misdeeds.
