Longing

It is a hunger pang
One I can never satisfy
With your saturated fats
Your half-hearted apologies
They fill me up with fallacies
Like a jelly donut

You are a sugar high
That drops me from the edge of the sky
You leave me more alone
Than I have ever been before

These cravings
Carve me like a jack-o-lantern
Leave me hollow
With an artificial grin
Leave me searching for something
For which I can truly sink my teeth in

But there is so substance in you
No nutritional value
You are my most unnecessary indulgence
The temptation of which
Has unmatched expectations

Your nectar protected by an endless buzz of bees
For even a single drop of your honey
I feel the sharpest of stings
And it aches at the very core of my being--
This endless, irrepressible longing.
