"The Apple of My Eye"

I have had my experienced eyes on you dear, for awhile now,
I have been trying my best just to draw, your attention somehow.

I think surely you can find me---
I may though become your prison,
You're coming closer I can see---
You're sure it's a wise decision?

You've seen me a thousand times, but never stopped in for a visit,
Was it something I did or didn't do? Please tell me, which is it?

You are now, regardless, my guest---
You simply MUST stay, my delight,
I sense you are tired and need rest---
I guess you just had a rough flight.

There, there, let me wrap you tightly, in my blanket so warm and thick,
Now a little something to relax, ahhh yes, that'll do the trick.

You're feeling a little bit numb---
You're unable to move, dazed sight,
I gave you injections, my plumb---
I can't have you put up a fight!

I'll remove the blanket from you now, we're about to get started,
I'll call your next of kin, you'll be another dearly departed.

It's poison, love, you can't break free---
It's taken hold of you quite well,
Can't move, can only hear and see---
Can't even make sound. Oh, do tell!

I crouch over your still body and watch, as your eyes fill with fear,
I see it all the time, I'll never shed even a single tear.

You're a much larger fellow than I've entertained here before,
I must take certain precautions, lest I be the one at Hell's door!

I own the skills, this you can trust---
I go to work, my blood runs cold,
This loveless task, for me, a lust---
This population to control!

I surely can't leave you, with viable means to make an escape,
Your arms and legs you would use first, so they are the first parts I take!

Pure excitement, I just can't stop!---
Pulsed flow, colorful intrusion,
Pure incitement, to the last drop!---
Pulsed glow, this altered illusion.

It must be horrible for you, so much pain and can't even scream,
It's ok, soon you'll be nothing, pretend that it's just a bad dream!

I now open up your center---
I see lots of goodies inside,
I mount you as my hands enter---
I devour ALL there that I find!



I've heard it said---
Last dies the HEAD---
I hope that you can still see me:

I've removed IT---
Gone is your wit---
Its contents now flowing through me.



I must thank you so very much---
You were, a quite wonderful lunch---

You were, The Apple of My Eye---
