Hunger

There is a hunger
Growing in me
That I'm ashamed of

A hunger that I ignore
By feeding my body
Food -mostly the unhealthy kind
Work- more than I can handle
Problems- that aren't mine

I try to keep myself busy
Distracted
But that hunger grows in me

And I'm ashamed
Nearing the quarter-century mark
And starving for something so...
Basic? Silly?
What's wrong with me?

But there is a hunger
Growing in me

For love
