To Love Is To Cannibalize

You said you loved me,

But would you cut hearts out of your flesh for me?

Would you pull out your intestines for me?

Would you let me drink every last drop of your blood?

Can I live inside your skin?

Can we leave this mortal world together?

Can we let our flesh rot, 

And watch it get eaten by maggots while we hold hands?

Can we watch our lifeless corpses decompose and deteriorate into nothing?

Can we cannibalize with a kiss?

Can we intertwine our souls together?

Can we be each other's muse for the rest of eternity? 

While we burn in eternal flames in hell, 

Can you hold me tight?

When it's my time to go, 

will you come with me with a big smile in your pretty face?

With nothing but love and macabre in our minds,

With blood on your face, 

And your heart in my hands,

You said you loved me.
