Needs and wants: a viscious cycle Flesh quells mindless non-sensibilities I don't need it What do I need? Nothing Silent screams, it's there like a shadow in my closet Days pass in decay of oneself Salivation in what I lack I don't need. It's all Black and Blue Bruise & Bone give way to rose gold tones and a sunset day Sleepless nights and food without savour Unsavories in desire A redundant walking endless days The same minute details An image of John Thomas etched in my mind Lust dripping from my temple of words I've failed to utter & a rubber heart cast from memories passed The glare from the life I have lived, begs me not to need But we all get ****** now and again, don't we?
