The Greater Need

I burn, inside and out
With a need
A lust so powerful
It rivals my need to breathe

I am driven by a throb
Like a Mack truck
It drives through me
It gives me direction

I am battered
By the beat of my heart
And the quickness of my breath
As it’s taken from me

I am falling, let me feel
Fill me everywhere
I lose myself
To the greater need
