The Gluttonous Monster

Did you know that I’m always hungry?
They say I’m a glutton.

My favorite snacks are humans.
That’s a food for thought, huh?

I’m hungry for their minds.
I just can’t get enough of it.

Feed me your stories,
your words; your emotions.

Lay them on a silver platter
I just might put it on instagram.

I’m starving. Feed me.
Feed my longing curiosity.

I’m so hungry.

Did you know?
That out of all these humans, you,
you are my favorite delicacy

I savor your every smile
your every touch; your every laugh

This bottomless pit in my stomache
is filled with just one taste
of your kiss.

And I just want to save you,
take you home 
and keep you there.

Devour and consume 
every bit of you.

You are the only one
able to put me in a food coma.

Only you satisfy the cravings
of my sweet tooth.

So stay with me.
And I promise to turn you into a glutton

Just like me—
Always hungry.

Then you’ll understand the
cravings that I have.

You’ll understand that only 
you and I
can feed each other, 
what humans call: 
“love.”
