Hunger Is Its Name

by Flo

Gentle kisses bear my name
This is all part of its game
We desire it, we yearn for it
We acquire it, we burn for it
Hunger is its name

Seek me for I will be here
Capture it to make it clear
Yearn for it, it's in reach
Or would you want me to teach?
This is not a game
Hunger is its name

Am I to blame?
Have you played this game?
Have you a name?
Who caused so much pain?
Have you changed?
Are you the same?
Are you well tamed?
Are you ashamed?

No, it's called Hunger
Because...
I hunger for your love.
