Empty Sweetness

Empty Sweetness,

In the emptiness of my stomach,

There’s only one thing that remains,

A bittersweet longing, filled with melancholy,

No matter how much my stomach craves,

Any ounce of sweetness will slowly fade away.

In the depths of my hunger,

My yearning persists,

The emptiness inside me makes me feel pure,

No matter how much sweetness i consume, I always  want more.

My soul is damaged,

It brings me shame,

This sweetness ignites me with a flame,

But no matter how much i consume,

Every time I reignite my stomach,

It craves a bigger, brighter flame.
