“

What a thing,

to be both starving and empty.

To ache for love–

to take the scraps from it’s table,

and yet, run sickly from the feast.

You can’t fathom why I’d

gobble your kisses but

duck your attention, please.

Understand–

Some of us have gone so long

hungry,

the idea of being full

feels worse

than the affliction.
