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

Love that last line... starts out almost heroically evil in tone... momentous.... and moves quickly into a beckoning nearly seductive approach on a much more personal level, but the last line, that colored it all darkly with a shot of bare reality..... the report heard in the halls of the divine as the truth is only a parting wish for another lie... bravo!

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.

sounded fraught with irony, contrariety, and opposition.... even the meaningless give us pause as we speak the truth that we need a lie...... artistic, I think I renounced something as i read.

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