Consumed

The passion inside us consumes us

Until all we see is that which controls us

Nothing else will console us, for all that we are is what we need.



Without it we are empty,

Nothing but a shell,

All that we say

All that we tell

Relates back to the passion we cannot quench

The last thing we think about before we sleep

The first thing on our mind when we awake



Never far from our thoughts

Only momentarily displaced by something more prominent

It is an obsession

an unsatiable hunger for that which we desire.

This was sparked by reading someone elses poem and by events going on in my own life
