Starvation

I have been hungry
Known what it is like
To pull my belt
One notch tighter

Yet I know I can survive
Through tough times
See the other side
Maybe become a little stronger
As a result

But there is a hunger
Food cannot cure

It arises in the heart
Grows stronger
Through loneliness
And desire

I see brief glimpses
Happiness and love
As I walk at times

Yet I also see
The other side of it
Not so pleasant

As a couple
Walks apart from
Each other
In silence
In animosity

And I wonder
What is the cure
To this eternal hunger?

And can it ever
Be satisfied?
