My stomach aches, it groans. Jolting and jiving, butterflies biting, parasites. Eating away. Bile rises to my throat. Taunting, tantalizing, I hope it never leaves me. The alternative is much worse. I long for the pain of the rot and decay as feeling this way… it’s better than nothing at all. Better than landing after the fall, love takes all. Robs us of rational thought but Wouldn’t you rather Find hope in impossible Than nigh love at all

THE HUNGER
My stomach aches, it groans. Jolting and jiving, butterflies biting, parasites. Eating away. Bile rises to my throat. Taunting, tantalizing, I hope it never leaves me. The alternative is much worse. I long for the pain of the rot and decay as feeling this way… it’s better than nothing at all. Better than landing after the fall, love takes all. Robs us of rational thought but Wouldn’t you rather Find hope in impossible Than nigh love at all
