Love Poem: Devour

Devour

You're a cannibal, baby, 
consuming pieces of my heart, 
chewing on my frailty, 
and tearing me apart, 

You're a scavenger, baby, 
overhead with your eyes honed, 
peeling layers of my flesh, 
until I'm bare to the bone, 

You're a glutton, baby, 
you're always wanting more, 
ravenous in your hunger, 
as if you feed off of the gore, 

So sink your teeth, the kill is fresh, 
devour all of me that cares, 
go on, gorge yourself to death, 
don't leave anything to spare, 

'Cause I'll no longer be your carrion, 
your helpless carcass prey, 
that you kill and kill again, 
just to feast while I decay.
