Oh my….
This is intimate and intensely sensual!
Many lines of significance, with his one capturing me:
“The moment between pain and nothing when I can almost taste life.”
That's, at least to my mind, the central phrase here: the hunger to fill an emotional void left by—well, what exactly? That answer is not given, but the question suggests itself. Indeed, a thought-provoking piece of writing!
Alas, I wouldn't consider it poetry as such as it is just too loosely structured and written. It could do well, I think, with either being edited down to a more rigorous form or being expanded into a piece of unabashedly introspective prose.
