Parched
Satiate my
Thirst
Replace it
With a
Hunger
A lust
Skin deep
I can
Bear the
Hunger
I cannot
Bear the
Longing
I cannot
Claw it
Out of
My veins
I can
Sleep to
Escape the
Hunger
But
When I
Sleep
I still
Dream
Of
You
I know
You’ve let
Me go
But I
Still
Feel
You
There
Thirst
Replace it
With a
Hunger
A lust
Skin deep
I can
Bear the
Hunger
I cannot
Bear the
Longing
I cannot
Claw it
Out of
My veins
I can
Sleep to
Escape the
Hunger
But
When I
Sleep
I still
Dream
Of
You
I know
You’ve let
Me go
But I
Still
Feel
You
There

Author's Note
Longing settles in the cracks, hunger sits on the surface. Longing seeps into the bloodstream, hunger is only flesh.
