Unending Ache
Why am I starving when I have it all?
we are born hungry gasping for breath crying for what’s missing needing it now sucking it in spewing it out endlessly aching persistently seeking picking choosing rejecting maybe it’s this or it’s that maybe it’s just you I need a moment of comfort a flash of elation spark of satisfaction that flickers then fades touch of skin warmth breath heartbeat so near where I end you begin but after brief bliss I slip back into ache personal black hole consuming my mind no wonder I’m unravelling how do you silence this gnawing want it hurts
Author’s Note: We humans are always wanting something more. What is about us that makes us so ravenous?
This hits like a mirror with breath still on it. The form, the flow, the ache. God, I feel it. The way you built this, line by line, mimicking the breath held and the shudder. Thank you for putting voice to that hunger. I see you in this. 💜
I needed this today. You always seem to have the words I'm looking for to pull myself out of my feelings.
