I eat of her flesh, gorgeous demon Feel as her hot blood coats my throat Not a poison, not a drug A sustenance unlike anything before it "Take of my flesh, drink my blood," I can feel my teeth sharpen Daggers biting my lower lip Feeling that ancestral ache Vision sharpening, each object made crisp New shades of color New forms of light Otherworldly fire and smoke She smiles, crimson scales shudder “That’s it, boy,” she licks the words We laugh as I become her Her kin and kind “Cannibal,” she hisses with glee “Lover,” she sighs But she betrayed me Tried to free me from her heart “Why won’t you leave?” I scratch at the scales above her brow Feel the black and gray hairs Fine as spider-silk My eyes show her the truth “Even now, you love me,” Smiles, low grumble rises from my gullet If I cannot stay here I will take her Our bed shall remain empty Neither of our hides shall feel it Wretched our passions Immortality courses through me “Beware the black bile,” I ache though, lustful memory Just her face, black and red eyes Smooth, beautiful scaled skin “I will own you, forever,” She watches as my eyes gleam I taste a familiar salt My tears are like a spice I taste hers It merges with her scent Tarnished silver in the air I lift her, bring her to the light Wipe blue and red blood from my lips “I own you, forever in this world.”

Demon Flesh
I eat of her flesh, gorgeous demon Feel as her hot blood coats my throat Not a poison, not a drug A sustenance unlike anything before it "Take of my flesh, drink my blood," I can feel my teeth sharpen Daggers biting my lower lip Feeling that ancestral ache Vision sharpening, each object made crisp New shades of color New forms of light Otherworldly fire and smoke She smiles, crimson scales shudder “That’s it, boy,” she licks the words We laugh as I become her Her kin and kind “Cannibal,” she hisses with glee “Lover,” she sighs But she betrayed me Tried to free me from her heart “Why won’t you leave?” I scratch at the scales above her brow Feel the black and gray hairs Fine as spider-silk My eyes show her the truth “Even now, you love me,” Smiles, low grumble rises from my gullet If I cannot stay here I will take her Our bed shall remain empty Neither of our hides shall feel it Wretched our passions Immortality courses through me “Beware the black bile,” I ache though, lustful memory Just her face, black and red eyes Smooth, beautiful scaled skin “I will own you, forever,” She watches as my eyes gleam I taste a familiar salt My tears are like a spice I taste hers It merges with her scent Tarnished silver in the air I lift her, bring her to the light Wipe blue and red blood from my lips “I own you, forever in this world.”
