Unconvinced of my emotions
pulling me in multiple directions.
Completely unaware
of how exactly you feel.

I grow distant
with distance
yet fall right back in
with the sight of your beauty
or the feel of your touch.

I struggle
to detach myself
from emotion and thought,
to suppress my appetite
for affection.

With each taste
of your intimacy
I grow more
and more hungry
and am faced
with the unfortunate reality.

Your food is scarce,
your time is limited,
your feelings are unclear.
