Rapacious

By ANGELSLAYER

I need you to feel the Hunger
To please understand this emptiness
I need you to feel this suffering

Put down the knife
The apostate weeps with deliverance

In the halls of the libertine
The divine vicariously taste the pleasure

I could eat you as you slither
The look of guile upon your face amidst the orgasmic
I only ask that you stitch me up when we're through

An epiphany of loneliness
I'm tired of these meaningless encounters

Let me feel what it really means
Even if it drains your soul
Even if it darkens your dreams
I swear I'll be there to hold together the seams

We can't fall apart before knowing happiness

So just hold me tight and let me die
Give me a caress meant to crush the darkness
Make it all better

Even if you have to lie

once again, each stanza is positively charged with power and perfecion - i loved the line 'I could eat you as you slither' - a very dark take on love and lust alike - very nicely done

"even if you have to lie" ... yug. is that the way to face the world, even if telling ourselves things are right, this is what we want? will the lies of others make truth out of the lies we tell ourselves? a thought provoking bit of insight here

It's not the way to "face the world." It's a way to show my desperation to be accepted, comforted, etc.

"The apostate weeps with deliverance"... well worded. I got stuck on this line. Something excited me about those words combined.
