STARVED

My hunger for you goes unsatisfied 
I crave for you night and day 
My love has become famished 
Should I go or should I stay 

The streets are calling me
I can hear their voices in my head 
Their faces flashing across my mind
Women.. lots of women.. beautiful women 
Reaching out to me, calling my name 

Tell me it gets easier.. tell me it gets easier
I am loosing control, I'm at my breaking point 
My heart longs for you but my patience grows weak 
Where are you.. how long can I be comforted 
By the fragrance you've left behind 

I need you.. all of you
Not just your smile that's nailed to my mind 
Or your whispers of love lingering in my ear 

My body freezes without your embrace 
My heart is that of a hungry wolf 
Starved for your love 
And grows weaker by the minute 

Should I sell my soul 
To the walkers of the night 
Must I give that which I had promised only you
To the luring lust of the beautiful and the damned 
Reconsider your thoughts 
Or watch me die without your love.
