A soul overfed with lust,
grasping at minescule gestures
gnawing on meaningless words meant only to placate
so desperate to be cherished
willingly becoming a slave to malice.                 

A criminal overtired,
blood unruly dripping from hands
scrambling to outdo
brawling to be valued
rupturing every precious opportunity
to be seen in the eyes of affection.

A grail overturned,
its once glorious contents
turned to venom
spite now dripping
from its approving edges.

A frail overabundance,
unrequited infatuations all overlapping
in unraveled webs of sanity.

Passion ruptures the unwanted soul.
