He Came Back Today | Lindsay Swarthmore

So, he came back today
And nobody was really
Happy about it,
Although he didn’t have a clue,
So typical—only thinking
About himself and what
He needs at any particular moment—
A giant hole that craves filling
But can never get enough,
A force that sucks up all the light
And leaves everything in darkness.
