“DEPRIVATION”

LEARNED ABOUT YOU AT AN AGE THAT WAS TOO YOUNG, 

GREW FOND OF YOU AND THE THINGS I KNEW WERE TO COME, 

SAW MAGAZINES, MOTIONS PICTURES, AND HEARD SONGS ABOUT YOU MOST COMMONLY SUNG, 

LITTLE DID I KNOW THE IMPACT ON MY LIFE YOU WOULD HAVE FROM FIRST TASTE I WAS SPRUNG, 

ONE DRIP OF YOU ON MY TONGUE, 

SEIZED MY BODY, MY SOUL….. A FEELING I STILL CANNOT OVERCOME, 

WHEN OTHERS HAD YOU AND STILL HAVE YOU I AM ALONE, YES JUST ME, JUST ONE, 

SO MANY I HAD TO DENY BECAUSE OVER YOU THEY WERE HUNG, 

STRUNG OUT, WHILE TO MY HEART I CLUNG, 

TILL ONE DAY I FOUND HER AND FROM HER I FREELY SWUNG, 

LIFE’S DEEPEST SECRETS SOMETIMES GO UNSUNG, 

THE MOMENT I GAVE MYSELF TO HER FOREVER THOUGHT I’D HEARD THE WEDDING BELLS HAD RUNG, 

WHAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE FOREVER DEALT A BLOW THAT DEFTLY STUNG, 

HERE I STAND WITHIN THE MASSES, BUT STILL AMONG NONE, 

NEVER WOULD HAVE DREAMED THAT YOU WOULD BE LESS THAN SOME,

TO THIS TIME, THESE MOMENTS I HAVE SUCCUMB,

WHEN YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS CAUSE YOU TO BE NUMB, 

THE DEPRIVATION YOU CAUSED KEEPS ME INTERESTED AS LONG AS THE FLAVOR LASTS IN GUM,

YET STILL YOU ARE SOMETHING I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ABSTAIN FROM.
