Starving

i am starving for attention

for brown eyes
and soft lips laced with coffee

i am so hungry
and i think i'd eat anything

he smiles at me
inviting me in
and i envision us alone
undressing

but that won't satisfy

i am hungry
for my daddy's arms
saving me from
the men who will
eat me up
and leave me

for my daddy's approval
daddy tell me i'm pretty please
am i skinny

daddy is not home from work
he is away for business

&& i am starving
my eyes sunken in
i can't sleep i'm so hungry

i see a boy's eyes on me
and i lick my lips
'give me more'
and he touches me
i want more more more
feed me
so i can regret it

but i think
i am craving
love that stays

i want the lips and skin
and passion
but i want to
know i won't
have to ask
for seconds

i want affection
and romance
want your approval  

i am starving for your love
