Analysis of Starving
Hot wind blows hard.
Burning their face like fire.
Getting there they have to do.
To find their heart's desire.
Blood pounding in veins.
Tight clenched fist waiting.
Watching them go insane.
Starving love needing fuel.
Darkened eyes watching overhead.
Why did this world have to be so cruel?
Taking them away to sit with the dead.
