You fed me lies, while I swallowed every syllable. You gave me your bittersweet words of false hope to chew on, And I willingly devoured them at each sitting. Now I lay here staring at the letters you once wrote me, Seeing now that I was blinded. With each progressing sentence, You made a fool of me. And now all I crave to do, Is watch each word burn in raged flames. Yet, I'm still hungry. - (c.w.)

Hunger.
You fed me lies, while I swallowed every syllable. You gave me your bittersweet words of false hope to chew on, And I willingly devoured them at each sitting. Now I lay here staring at the letters you once wrote me, Seeing now that I was blinded. With each progressing sentence, You made a fool of me. And now all I crave to do, Is watch each word burn in raged flames. Yet, I'm still hungry. - (c.w.)
