hungry i was when i met him
and hungry i always will stay
if the love that i have for my man
is ignored in a constant way

there's no joy left inside of me
my good years are wasting away
young i was when i met him
i'm just getting starved out with age

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Hah! Sorry. Reminds me of that old Carol Burnett skit where her lover tells her to wait for him, he will return and she sits on the front porch year after year after . . . She is covered with snow, but still she sits and waits. That image came in my thoughts as I read this.

That very last line is a classic. I really like the way you set life's unconditional timing in this.

Well done!

Forget the Psychiatrists they just find out all about you and sell you back to yourself!
