Starving
Have you ever been hungry?
Too hungry to eat?
People wonder why I'm wasting away.
Food just clogs up in my throat
never reaching my stomach.
Always on the verge of losing the unessesary baggage.
I can't swallow anymore garbage.
I'm not even hungry.
The emptyness inside
is not my growling stomach.
It's my withering heart.
Starving for love,
someone who understands.
Can a soul be anorexic?
Because mine's dropping the pounds fast.
And I don't think it will accept a feeding tube.
I need someone to be my soulfood.
I need your love
to feed my starving heart.
