hungry

 

hungry was a friend of mine

and was with me all of the time.  

He stayed with me

through thick and thin.  

he would never stray far 

and 

would always return home again.

and when I begged him to leave

and set me free

he would always laugh

and 

flash his ugly grin

and

kick my gut

with an ugly twist

his goal to leave me

crying for a crumb

of life

and 

as I crawled and begged

for more

he would laugh and giggle

and laugh some more

if you want some food

you filthy swine

here take mine

just

lick it up off the

goddamned

floor
