Love

Love

The thoughts, memories, and wishing for it have filled me.

I have felt the heart thumping, stomach turning passions that flush the cheeks and leave you breathless.

I have felt it grow poisonous acidic to touch. 

Watching it let go, fading like the fog burned away from the sun.

I once was too full to ask for another helping.  

Now I hunger for more but the shelves have been emptied.  

Their goods having turned foul from wait, putrid and bitter in my neglect.  

Where do I go?

  4. Very well written. Can relate to the not asking for help part, as well as to the sad ending. Also nice combination of poetic lines and images in your One Shot!
