I Feast On Your Every Word

I Feast On Your Every Word

For years I deliberately have kept out of touch with you

I became emotionally deprived and was barely alive

Lack of nutrition for my soul; left me a shell of myself

In fits of desperation I continually cried out for help

I needed immediate relief from emotional starvation.

The very moment I heard your voice I found hope

You were bringing sustenances my soul deperately needed

To hear your voice again I feasted on your every word

They were the foods that's needed to feed a starving soul

The sentiments always lifted my malnourished spirit

I know now it’s the reason each time I hear from you

Even when words are few my emotional needs are eased

You are one person who understand how to feed my needs

With nourishment which is only found in complete honesty

Instead of the aromatic words which serves to tease me

That would make it easy to fall back on accustomed ways

Dining on that which does nothing to nurture my being.

There’s a chance the distribution for my soul will end

Until such time I'll dine by feasting on your every word

This was a very good write but the handwriting is kind of hard to understand.

thank you...I changed the font... every so often I slip off the deep end, and need my OP family to reel me in

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
