I attempt to survive without love.
The lack of sustenance takes a toll.
I waste away.
I grow weary of begging for a meal.
I subsist on the barest crumbs
which you drop in my path,
as you casually pass by.
I devour them hungrily, yet still
I starve.

You just successfully defined the "True Lover" - what a hopeless class of beings we are!

I like this metaphorical poem very much...if I could only count the number of times I have felt this way. Good poem

It is amazing though how long just a few crumbs can keep you going!

This is extraordinary! I am impressed! It reminds me of the French saying "To live on love and fresh air".

Rex and Uta said it so well...even a crumb now and then may be enough to sustain you....but it will never satisfy the hunger within. Good stuff, Cat. Hardrock
