The shadows of impermanence,
Dancing within my mind
Nothing to quell the hunger…
A beast with gaping maw
I search
Desperation prickling my skin
Need thrashing through my veins
Like hot wires…
Need me, see me, validate me,
Give me a reason for living.
I’m a creature of the night
The husk of a person,
No intention or desire
Or driving force or worthy cause,
Just everlasting need.
