Beautiful Hunger

Heavy breaths speak of a desirous sooth

what i desire the most
by Sirena V

that I surpres by pretending it is not there,
lying to my life,
but fuck it is burning.

I Yearn
by Everleigh Blackburn

echoes linger,
words unspoken,
wrapped in shadows,
like whispers lost in the wind.
I reach,
fingers tracing the outlines
of invisible thoughts,
yearning for a glance,
