Hungry

These days, I can't seem to get full.
There's a hunger in me that has been wanting to be filled.

Maybe not just these days,
It's been over me since I realized I'm soulless.
Maybe it's just so strong now, I resort to eating.

Eating foods, mostly harmful.
Drinking beverages, always unhealthy.
Getting devoured by thoughts as I do these things,
For it's the most silent time of the day when it just finds me to consume me wholly.

There's a hunger I can't fill.
A hole I can't occlude.
A wound I can't patch up.
And thoughts, feelings, an abyss I can't satiate.

It's been like this for years...
How, perhaps, when, can I finally get sated?
