Comfort Eating

Fill me up with food so no pain can get in
fill me up with anything you have
whatever you can possibly give me
it all helps to block out the crave

for friendship, for love and affection
my hunger for success as a human
my thirst for a satisfying drink
from the communion cup of man

I can cram it in without chewing
I can swallow it whole without spewing
I can pack it in like gold bullion
I am worthless as weight is my gold - so I am told

Fill me up with food so no pain can get in
