Hunger Pains
By: Tyler Ross
I know that you don’t see me,
but I love you still.
I’ve found my time is needy,
and I’m lacking the will.
To see outside of me
and my selfish ways.
We just pretend to be strong,
while caught up in our own waves.
Tumbling and crashing,
trying to take the reins.
Struggling and disconnecting,
feeding our own hunger pains.
I know that you don’t hear me,
but I love you still.
I’ve been working on myself,
trying to stabilize this commitment pill.
To know its hurting to see
and feel these words.
This distance isn’t just torture.
It’s crushing and for the birds.
Tumbling and crashing,
trying to take the reins.
Struggling and disconnecting,
feeding our own hunger pains.
