The Thing I Can't Live Without
I couldn't tell you
The void inside my heart
Or explain why I feel this way
I have everything a person could want
A family that loves me
A husband that adores me
A bright future
A clever intellect
I suffer from no lack of hunger
Or places to lay my head
There is nothing I fear of losing
And yet there is a viscious hunger
That ravages inside me
I do not know what I seek
Yet I know I cannot live without it
Every now and then it hits me
Like a forgotten nightmare
Coming to drag me back to the darkness
Things I used to find joy in
Are like unfamiliar faces now
Maybe one day I'll find it
The thing I can't live without
Something wrong with this poem?

I am just a girl living in St. Paul, Minnesota who loves to write. I think too much and I dream big. I welcome adventure with open arms and my imagination kidnaps reality. I love experiencing new things and daring to learn. Music is the rhythm of my heartbeat and lyrics are the language of my soul. I love the musty smell of old books and anything vintage-inspired. I am bohemian at heart and art is the treasure of my life's voyage. I love to feel the kisses of the winds of nature, and dwelling in the secret place of peace with my Creator. Love is my destiny and passing it on to whomever I cross paths with.
