Corrupt Me

Shannah J 2003 (sydney)



I want to rip out my insides and put them on a pretty ceramic plate for you to devour.
I let you consume me and spit me back out, the chunks of my body stay stuck in between your teeth for you to eat when you realize the taste of me is still lingering in your mouth.
You swallow me whole, your body melts away my skin and bones the longer I settle inside of your stomach. I stay there until you digest me, turning me into waste.
You feed me your flesh, turning me into a starving, desperate creature that claws at your skin until your blood fills up my throat making me gag and spit it all over the sheets we sleep on.
You touch me, my body burns, melting. It sticks all over you as your hands search every inch of me.
You look into my eyes, watching them as I beg for more. So you stuff me like a doll with soft silky balls of cotton, until it tears holes in my skin and spills out from the seams.
I wish for your hands to grip my flesh and rip it off the bone, for your mouth to suck up every last drop of me, no crumbs left behind.
I crave the taste of you the more you feed me. I’m hungry, I'm starving, give me more. I need it. I need you to shove yourself down my throat and make me throw you up so I can eat you all over again.
You have turned me into a greedy, blood lusting monster. I was once a little girl, waiting to be hunted down by a vicious predator that's ravenous for pretty, sweet flesh. But now I don’t wait, I hunt for you with drool running down my chin.
Eat me alive, show me how hungry you are and how good I taste as I slide against your tongue.
We feed off each other until our bodies ache and can no longer make room for more. When you're full, you go back to let the feeling of temporary satisfaction simmer through you.
Then your mouth starts to water again, yearning for me. You take more and more of me each time, until there's nothing pretty, or sweet left.
There isn't anything appetizing left for you now. You wait until someone else hands you a pretty ceramic plate with their insides sprawled out for you to fill yourself up with all over again.
