Craving

Craving

so many times l scream please let me go

but you never do all you do is vanish still

always then to appear when l am all alone

to pull out what is mine and maybe yours

at times you seek me at places never seen

you sense me and find me like a predator

l feel spellbound,powerless and possessed

you feed your hunger as if a monstrosity

l relent mutely when do l have any say

you plunder and wound me in your quest

seldom do l get to respond to your jest

how long will it remain so is what l plead
