The Need

It’s a craving that can’t be satisfied

despite the number of cries.

It’s an emptiness that can’t be filled 

despite the amount of verses instilled.

It’s a void that nestles into your heart

that forms into a massive scar.

It’s a pit that settles in your stomach

that forms shards of glass in it.

It’s a longing defined by desperation

even though you receive other attention.

It’s a necessity from birth

even though you lost it first.

It’s a plea that goes unheard

because you’re silent and afraid.

It’s a touch that keeps you calm and safe

because it’s a father’s embrace.
