Paradox of Want

Bittersweet desire
Longs to be fulfilled
But when the void is void no more
The desire then is killed.
So then therefore it's bittersweet
This desire felt so needed
For even though it hungers so
We can never fully feed it.

I totally relate to the actual paradox of want (wanting something until it is actually available).

Me being really, really picky:
"when the void is void no more" is redundant and could be simplified. "when the void is no more" fits with the 3-beat rhythm this poem has; it is nice to have the rhythm broken, but another word might be better.
