Cannibal -

I want to be your food, I want to course through you

I want to fall into your mouth, then for you to trap me down, down

Make me suffocate, so I can’t escape, so close the cells fuse

A child’s fascination with the new, with special attentions, obsessions ensue

And with the teasing of the edges, the world’s condensed down to inches

«Dirty"'s not a word I ever understood, an angel’s clean from head to toe

Two hearts born in winter, worn not on the sleeve, despite change in season the

cold wouldn’t leave

It’s only befitting the two were to meet, and trigger the change from desire to

heat

An urge that was planted before I was born, to worship your every function and

form

Funny to think that a difference so plain attracts us to that which just makes

us the same

We’re meant to toil on the earth, to fill our heavens with mirth

I don’t need babies or bells, to want this with no one else

You gave me the right to merge with your life, our flesh won’t last for long

(and it knows it)

Oh, but careful, for when we fail to seize our kingdoms, we’re ruled by false

rewards

And we couldn’t hate ourselves more

I remember when I was human
