Need

Crave and crave and hunger and light and the darkness swallows it all.

Hunger insatiable I lie through teeth rotting and screaming a need I have never known.

Lights extinguish one by one they run from me everyone darkness consuming.

I used to want but want is need is must is at all costs. The one I want the one I want I need.

What is want? I only know the need the must the craving that eats me inside out bones ache.

The ache is there the need is gnawing now roaring drowning out the world I used to see.

I have not seen felt heard you all this time it was the roaring in my ears I'm quieting it.

But through the quiet even now I feel the gnawing softer roaring softly.
