Starving

The insatiable desire to be desired

An unending need to be wanted

To be the cause of excitement to someone

One gentle caress of the hand

Envelopment in embrace

Any form of touch, really


I find a shallowness in material things.

The time bought with money,

Attention gained by a gold watch

Finding value only in the numerical.

Is it too much to donate your attention;

Am I supposed to be contempt with a cheap knock off of affection?

Dollar signs be damned, it's the sentiment of it all!

Love treated as a commodity to be sold in the temples
