Unfulfilled

We humans are so smart
The highest form of life
Yet we are so fragile
And still manage to find strife

We all have a hunger
With which we try to feed
And most of us are lucky
To get just what we need

When our stomachs are empty
And we're craving for some food
For most of us the fridge
Will put us in a good mood

When our throats are dry
And on hot days are the worst
The water from our taps
Will quench our need of thirst

When our skin is cold
As temperatures start to freeze
The heater in our homes
Will always seem to please

When our eyes are tired
And no longer awake can keep
Our beds and warm blankets
Will invite us to deep sleep

But when our hearts feel empty
This the hardest one to fill
As unfortunately love is
The only thing that will

Though not from lack of wanting
With people all around
But our basic need of love
Is the hardest to be found
