I was bored in History class and this is what I came up with
Hunger



Hunger,

      Haunting,

              slowly devouring,

body, mind, and soul.



Pouring,

      Draining,

            Drowning,

Tearing life from limb.



Seeing,

      Gnawing,

            Sucking,

Flooding my soul.



Pressure, denying life,

                    Seeking eyes,

                          That cannot see,

Feeling a force that cannot feel.



Hunger is the eyes that follow,

                  The life force that seeks,

The certain ache of the heart.



My eyes betray,

            The life I seek,

                The pleasure of the chase,

Denys the reality of my fate.
