FAMINE

ASPHODELS DIGITAL VERSION CHRYSSA VELISSARIOU 2014 

No one can feed me

I'm so hungry I feel I'm dying

Hungry to see

hungry to hear

hungry to smell

hungry to taste

anything which could

belong to you

I 'm hungry to feel you

I'm in despair though

I know I will stay for ever in famine

I know now that your being

must end to exist for me

because just like I devour you

you will devour me

Our love was always not only carnivorous

but kind of cannibalistic 

My existence hurts you deeply

I'm sure you wished a hundred times

never to have known me

never to have tasted my sweetness

never to have felt the passion 

which keeps you awake and crying

which makes you feel so incomplete and deserted

I can withstand every pain coming from you

I could bleed till death enough 

you feed me someway 

just by your presence

This is what my heart demands

I had a whole sound and safe life 

I had a whole empty life

I had everything except what I wished for me

and now that I have found you

I realize the only thing could keep you sound and safe

is me to stay away, to disappear, 

not even to exist by you as a friend 

Time goes away 

I see death approaching

no more time to give away

I cannot even fulfill

my last wish

I will die in famine
