hungry man

you’ve seen my world shatter without one touch of hand

you’ve seen my life scattered as burnt parchment sand

words began to write our fairy tale which ended

even as we foresaw an end we simply pretended

that our world still held us in a warm embrace

trapped inside thoughts our minds can never replace

running through a dream felt only as the night

senses are devoured within a burden of delight

tendrils of fire dance throughout my heart

enchanted by a love which has now depart
