My stomach rumbles because I am hungry for your words It's been over a week since we've spoken, and I feel as though I haven't eaten in weeks I drool at the memory of your words, your sweet imagery of kindess, the spicy, tangy taste in your flirtations I can feel the cool, soft texture of your words on my tongue Memories flood in, of an empty stomach, a full plate I would often ***** up words, unsure of what to say They didn't know I did the same to my food Two different pangs of hunger, but both cause a similar pain I'll just fight off the starvation By the time you get back, I'll have withered away into nothing

Hunger (Starvation)
My stomach rumbles because I am hungry for your words It's been over a week since we've spoken, and I feel as though I haven't eaten in weeks I drool at the memory of your words, your sweet imagery of kindess, the spicy, tangy taste in your flirtations I can feel the cool, soft texture of your words on my tongue Memories flood in, of an empty stomach, a full plate I would often ***** up words, unsure of what to say They didn't know I did the same to my food Two different pangs of hunger, but both cause a similar pain I'll just fight off the starvation By the time you get back, I'll have withered away into nothing
