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.

This is beautiful! It has a passionate touch to it and flows like a captivating and powerful song! Perhaps black metal, and this resonates with me! And perfect way tk describe some flesh eating, selfish ones or maybe it can also be perceived in a sensual manner! Especially the opening! Altho ofcourse dark shades flow! I love the ending! Shows strength of you, despite whoever trying their best to bring you down. Narcissists do not like hearing those words! Pleasure reading your work always!

Gulp....... remind me never to get on the wrong side of you Shane.. You can be ruthless ! Heheheheh I have always said that if a poem makes you feel differently than you did before you read it.. "then it is art". This is art, because it gave me the shivers, and definitely altered the way I felt after I read it. It proves that to be a fine piece it doesn't have to be about fairies and rainbows dripping with honey. Cheers Wen
