Hunger

HUNGER

BY ROBERT DAVIDSON

I die disappointed

I want her - this mad desire

I cannot still this hunger in my heart

Oh God, - it makes me crazy wanting her

Lying in wait for her

Longing for her every moment of the day and night

Once we put our mouths together

Each tasting, touching - but bruising the other

For love stings more than it consoles

Somehow the unattainable puts a stronger accent on desire

Men often fancy what is withheld -

So mad this craving

Like a famished wolf on prey

I could rip every stitch off that girl -

Yet I would give my soul to graft my heart on hers,

Go the full mile, enter and consume …

But we must all die disappointed of something, I guess

Love’s a skeleton from which we’ve picked the flesh!

She’s bit me to the bone.
