The Hunger and the Hollow...

The mind wants more than flesh
and the flesh can't comprehend
The wounds remain so fresh
and the scars can't fully mend

This thoughtful meat will hunger
to fill its empty aches
and be consumed with wonder
at all this hunger takes

The hunger and the hollow
Polarity in place
To flee or just to follow
in either keeping pace

The mind can't fill its void
As thoughts are never full
The madness of this soul
Forever so annoyed

The hunger and the hollow
in emptiness they stay
and filled with all they swallow
they keep their needs at bay

All the world in yearning
from hungry/hollow needs
The emptiness that's burning
echoes as it pleads

Bring something to the nothing
that swallows every bite
Discuss how it's disgusting
or how it's only right

The hunger and the hollow
in flesh and blood and mind
this temple of Apollo
that's lost in every find
