Feast on Rinds

Hunger, all I know is hunger
Is all she would say
As she slid the blade
Sparking off the concrete
Hunger, all I know is hunger
In a trance she would sway
Phantasmagoric cartoon reel
Missing picture framed
Perspire breath you sea
Hunger, all I know is hunger
For nibble of a meaty treat
Playing hide and seek
Scarlet necklace adorned
Crimson choker implored
Garnet locket she slays
Ruby waterfall your grave
Hunger, all I know is hunger
The last words you hear
Before your light fades to gray
Hunger,  all  I  know  is  hunger
Bone cracking permeates
She is no longer hungry
