𝘐. π˜”π˜°π˜Άπ˜΅π˜©
Your lips tear easy,
a ripe seam splitting.
I drink the words
before they escape.

𝘐𝘐. π˜›π˜¦π˜¦π˜΅π˜©
Each kiss is a wound.
I keep your taste
lodged between molars,
a secret no wash can rinse.

𝘐𝘐𝘐. π˜›π˜°π˜―π˜¨π˜Άπ˜¦
Your words dissolve
like fat on flameβ€”
I lap at their smoke,
searing my mouth
just to taste you.

𝘐𝘝. 𝘏𝘦𝘒𝘳𝘡
I split the ribcage clean,
hands bathing in red heat.
I swallow the muscle whole,
and feel your rhythm
become my own.
cradling the muscle
that never stops
calling my name.

𝘝. π˜‰π˜­π˜°π˜°π˜₯
It runs like wine,
hot and feral.
I tilt your throat
and drink until
the night blurs.

𝘝𝘐. π˜‰π˜°π˜―π˜¦
White silence cracks,
splintering my jaw.
I grind the marrow
into hunger’s flour.
splinter by splinter,
until even your marrow
screams inside me.

𝘝𝘐𝘐. 𝘚𝘬π˜ͺ𝘯
Your body is parchmentβ€”
I peel it slow,
line by line,
reading you
to the bone.

𝘝𝘐𝘐𝘐. π˜‰π˜³π˜¦π˜’π˜΅π˜©
You sigh,
and I steal it,
pushing your lungs
empty into mine.

𝘐𝘟. 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳
I have eaten you allβ€”
the mouth, the tongue,
the skin, the heartβ€”
yet nothing fills me.
Love is the wound
that never closes.
this is a collection of poems i wrote because i like the idea of cannibalism being a metaphor for love, not that violently but also because loving someone sometimes means you want to be with them forever. ie, consumption
