"Cannibal"

I dig a hole into your heart
nibble on your meat
take your bones apart
Each taste so sweet it makes me cry
They said you were perfect
They didn't lie

Down the soft curves into your skin
I am prey to curiosity
Is there really a light within?
I arrange your parts on plates
and look into your cells
Where does it hide, that mind without hate?

I eat and make you mine
With every bite
I feel organic bonds entwine
Sucking your bones until they're white
I have ingested you
and made us one tonight

Then I build you again of brittle bone
which I can hold and cradle
I am no longer alone
You will not grow old now, nor fade away
You never loved me
But my love made you stay

And when I die I'll lie down inside you
and enfold your frame with my skin
to build a new body made of two
Disintegrate and dissolve, rot and return to dust
and hope that maybe the worms
will eat this meat with lust
