an appetite for longing as the starving belong and surviving the song is all that he can see

it's tongue flicks and darts across the darkness through the stars across the emptiness

you feel it too sometimes just long enough to know

a pang of hunger but easily subdued like food isn't scarce

so you don't fear what you feel turn on the lights and you don't see the darkness

but he is emotionally blind so the shadows stay there despite how much light shines
