Hungry
Hungry eyes
Hungry face
Hunger filling every place
Trying desperately to escape
I do not struggle, for this I chose
And hungry hands they take hold
Lustful fingers claw and pry
I look away to avoid his eyes
They tear and gnaw my fading soul
If yet it still remains at all
I want to run, I want to hide
If it brings me comfort, even to die
But death is too easy a resolution
And this I choose as a conclusion
Such sacrifice is never worth
The price that is left to pay
Forever a savage, revengeful replay
Of sins committed and purity lost
Such things come at a pricey cost
And never leave the mind and soul
'Til death reluctantly pays its toll(poems go here)
