Consume Me

Insatiable
Eyes constantly searching,
Devouring the crowd in its midst,
Lips stretched across bone
Peeling back with a leer grin,
Searching, seeking, lurking in every corner,
This creature painted scarlet
Skin shredded and torn, exposed,
Hopelessly manifesting its naked body in the eyes of its victims,
Settling in their chests
Thumping, beating, pumping
Coursing its vile liquid through their body
Giving them breath, giving them life
Only to enact their torturous demise
Encasing itself deep within,
Allowing the rib cage to puncture its delicate flesh,
Sprouting weeds and thorns and carnations in its crevices
As the vines of this creature climb up through your throat,gasping for air
You hear a whisper from within, within the beast,
"This is the Love you all yearn for"
