Hands Empty

I have been starving and just when I am finally allowed to sit at a banquet, all the food is taken away from me. How can it be so? I waited in line smelling and seeing how wonderful it would be to have a taste. When I was finally seated it was taken away. I still have the deep deep desire for this hunger to be satiated. I shed tears for everything I hoped to eat. I sit empty handed yet again. I want to feel hate and anger for what has been taken away. I cannot. I just feel desire and emptiness all at once. This feels wrong. This should not be happening. Everything leading up to now made it feel as though I finally was going to have this need satisfied. But I am left with empty hands.
