08.12.19 (yearns)

Lust in place of love
Serves as a fragile distraction 
To the reality
Of emptiness and apathy.
A whirlwind week
Was lovely at times 
And wholly uneventful at others
But at no point
Has it felt like anything
Other than temporary. 
It took me a year
To make it this far
And not feel guilty
To give love to others,
Even still, it feels hollow.
Physical pleasures are 
No place to escape 
For any long period of time
When the heart 
Still yearns
For another.
