The Cannibal
Can i feed on you like a vulture?
Slowly destroy you and make myself alive.
Can kill you in my heart,
And leave the blood by the door?
Will you sit in a room full of candles,
And a coin that makes you talk?
Shall I cut you open with a kiss?
Your blood gives me the rush,
Your pain gives me the high.
Will you love me the same if you knew I was a cannibal?
If you knew I was the one who killed everyone that wronged you?
Will you run away from me,
Or will you stay back and embrace me?
Because in the end you are the goddess I worship
Until I feed on you, and you cease to exist.
