Gluttony

Your kisses ate my face and sucked my soul

Your touch grabbed and ripped and sliced my skin

You drank my tears as if they were the water meant to quench thirst

You took my voice like it were your last bite

You chewed my thoughts into shreds

You enwrapped me and embraced me and squeezed me til I disappeared...

You consumed me.

Like a starved being, whose stomach could never be filled

Your soul remained empty as you devoured mine,

You kept eating and eating

You were the sinner, your sin gluttony.

How could you take all of me so selfishly?

Had you not any decency?

To leave me with myself?

To not strip and savor and bite and swallow..

my heart?

my brains?

my faith?

my trust?

I feel as though I am lying on a plate of nothing...

waiting to be your feast.

And now that you have not come to eat...what you have always eaten...

I am stuck without the will to move, to flee, to be free..

from the hope that I might stay

in the grips of your love's teeth.
