I remember that placid night... Sitting in my room alone. Something inside me was filled with fright, Knowing that there was no one to phone. And I suddenly hungered, ached, desired— That animalistic feeling, That urge left unhindered— That lustful tingling. A lust I lusted after, But to no avail. My lonely heart started beating faster, But all I could do was wait and wail. I felt choked up, Stifled beyond belief. I felt like I had dealt with enough, And I needed to help my soul breathe. A lust I had lusted after, Longing for that forgotten feeling. But my hopes were useless chatter, No one could hear my silent pleading. I felt so very hopeful— Hopeful and excited. But I was left feeling wistful, With my lust uninvited.

Longing
I remember that placid night... Sitting in my room alone. Something inside me was filled with fright, Knowing that there was no one to phone. And I suddenly hungered, ached, desired— That animalistic feeling, That urge left unhindered— That lustful tingling. A lust I lusted after, But to no avail. My lonely heart started beating faster, But all I could do was wait and wail. I felt choked up, Stifled beyond belief. I felt like I had dealt with enough, And I needed to help my soul breathe. A lust I had lusted after, Longing for that forgotten feeling. But my hopes were useless chatter, No one could hear my silent pleading. I felt so very hopeful— Hopeful and excited. But I was left feeling wistful, With my lust uninvited.
