Hunger Pains
by Ellen Karman
Hunger pains awaken me from a moment of delusions.
I wipe my tears, so I can see;
but I'm blind to senseless confusion.
He said:
"It'll be all right he said,
I'll give you food so you can eat.
I'll wipe the tears so you can see and
I'll give you love and everything. It’ll be all right."
Now the foods all gone;
And, the tears he wiped have begun to roll and
The love he gave, well it got too old.
"It'll be all right" he said.
He said - "When are you gonna realize?
The food I gave, well it was fake and
the tears you cried I never wiped,
The love I gave, well it was hate."
