you know it’s been 12 months
since I had anyone in my bed
back then was the last few crumbs
of a love like stale bread

so I’ve been a long time longing
staring at a barren plate
wanting to fill up my empty cup
or at least to have a taste

you left me hungry for the touch of a man
you left me hungry for the touch of a man

back when you left the table
I wasn’t able to even comprehend
how long I could survive,
stay alive, despite famine

you left me hungry for the touch of a man
you left me hungry for the touch of a man

these days my eyes linger on ring fingers
of every man I meet
my belly’s on fire, I’m so tired
of trying to deny the heat

you left me hungry for the touch of a man
you left me hungry for the touch of a man
you left me hungry
for the touch of a man
