I starve …

I starve …

written by: Dr. MOLLY JOSEPH

 

I starve 
       for a morsel
when you
        throw down
heaps 
          of leftovers
  
you waste up
         exhausting
the common 
                 reserves
  meant
          for you and me..

No,  I can’t take
         your left overs,
   they make me
               throw up…

instead,
           if you kept
a share apart
    fresh for me
or, 
      invited me
to the corners
              of your
luxuriant wedding,
 
I would
          gladly quench
the rebelling
              starving
fires within… 

I starve
        not alone 
for food,

but
     for the love,
 the care
          you deny to me…
