Feast

Desire is callous and fleeting. 

For a period in time, a moment, 
you are craved.

Passionately you are fed upon 
with hungry eyes and 
heavy hands. 

Ravenously loved, 
but only by selfishness, 
lust, and gluttony. 
 
Yet you lie grateful for the feast, 
for you too are starving.

  1. Just saw this and how carefully you placed the word โ€œlieโ€ exactly where it needed to be. The problem isnโ€™t the moment, it is the decision to lie to ourselves that leaves the regret we can never escape.
