I have been struck with a burning hunger

I never knew I heed

I guess Ive never had the need

you know?

to love,

to meet eyes and glow,

now it's like a hunger I must feed.

I wish to admire someone

as i do a dove.

I wish to fall in love,

slowly,

patiently

meet what you call a soulmate,

the hand to my glove.

Ive never wished

to be understood,

or pursued.

but i have been struck

with a burning hunger i never knew i heed.

Perhaps now, i have the need.

I suppose its too late for that now,

Instead, ill cry myself to sleep

and know how.
