Hungry For Knowledge

I always think of you this time of the night

When the moon glares down on my linen tomb

And a part of me feels hollow

 

I demummify myself and slog to the sink

Then gaze to the mirror and stare death in the face

Sunken peepers and tallow skin

So is the front of a hopeless romantic

 

I think about galumphing to your window

And my body longs for fulfillment

I limp silently in the moonlight

Along barren, windswept streets

To gaze upon your somnolent being

 

With my silhouette etched behind the curtain

I see you wake and quake with fear

My knees tremble as I nervously moan

To let me in and eat your brain
