Wanting, longing, craving, loving, yearning, needing.
Heart beat racing faster and faster,
Only ending in disaster.
Body trembles as hands shake,
Crawling on the floor like a snake.
Hope, pray, wish, dream, desire.
Anything will be done to achieve,
To get what is most in need.
Nothing will get in the way,
For what will be a final “hurray.”
Begging, pleading, groveling, quivering, trembling.
Falling to your knees,
Looking up towards the trees.
The man walks by,
With a twinkle in his eye.
Hope, pray, wish, desire.
The world turns dark,
Living in a world with a shark.
Cannot run, cannot hide,
The man takes you for a ride.
Wanting, longing, craving, loving.
The mind takes flight,
As the man goes into the night.
The stars shine,
Nothing helps the mind.
Hope, pray, desire.
The man returns from darkness,
Bringing the harness.
It’s a hefty price to pay,
Nothing need be say.
Begging, pleading, groveling.
The blood is cold,
The skin cannot hold.
Everything is at stake,
Tomorrow may not awake.
Hope, desire.
Needle pricks the skin,
Patience running thin.
Bruises show from times past,
The rush will come fast.
Begging, pleading.
Loved ones have slowly vanished,
Alone forever and banished.
Heart stops beating,
Eyes stop seeing.
Desire.
