Thirst
Robert Hawkins
seeker, healer lover my catalyst.
it wasn't with wisdom that i loved you.
i was a soldier,
weaponless.
my prowess,
could't guard my heart.
you poured so much of you,
into me.
i didn't know how,
to give me back.
yet all i am unable,
to give,
possesses you.
you left taking your gift.
left helpless,
you left scars.
that hollow in me,
from your absence.
the pain of knowing,
there's to be only,
one of you,
in ones life.
but for the wish,
for you.
there's nothing in me.
