When the hunger comes 2013

  

Sometimes

In the dark of night

You wake to feel

The rumble of it

Inside of you,

Not an earthquake,

Yet the earth still move,

This thing you can’t

eradicate

It has a life of its own,

A passion for survival

A need to be fed,

Stirring at all

The odd hours,

Waking you

With its hunger,

And you, alone,

Maybe scared,

Unable to satisfy it

And must endure

Its pain

Until he feeling fades

Sunlight somehow

Extinguishes

What the night time

Inspires,

And you live

Through daylight

Knowing

Its hunger

Will come again
