Empty Stomach

all you are is
emptiness
unflinching to
the abyss
death's hallow kiss
drenched in listlessness
tell me dear,
what do you miss?

is it that hunger
gnawing,
burning deep
that holds you tightly
when you cannot sleep?

is it the pain?
too dull being sane?
tell me, what have you to gain?

have you seen too much?
do you miss my touch?

I guess it doesn't take much

to bring me to my knees
safe
in my disease
