Hollow Pursuits

I'm reminded
how hollow
this pursuit is.


Meaningless sex
leaves a hole
in my heart.


Vacant stares
filled with lust
never satisfy.


I feel so empty,
turned inside out,
bared like a wound.


Am I just the
sum of my parts,
a soulless body?


My heart aches
for more- it's
a gnawing pain.


It claws at me
as my desire
devours me.
