Beautiful People Love to Eat

Can you just see me

Image created by me with midjourney

In an empty eternal void, I reside

My soul cries,

To pull me out of this life,

But there's not a hand in sight,

I can't keep up this fight,

There is no sound but lies,

Tonight I will have to sacrifice.

I cut open my arms with a knife,

With such slight,

I look up to the nothingness above my eyes ,

Before the blood spills outright,

And say to myself,

This is what they like,

They come swarming like flies,

Like they have a shark's nose,

I watch them drool as they feast on my blood pools,

So many hands reach to me like I'm preaching,

They're feening,

Reaching only to keep feasting,

They grab me and dig their teeth into me,

They smile and tell me how much they love me,

My soul lights,

As I look at all these people with me,

Filling the emptiness,

Take everything, I say

I love to see your happiness,

If I could just ask for one thing-

But before I could finish, I see them leave

They've filled up on what they need,

My voice is too broken to get the words out,

It would be nothing but wailing,

So My heart screams,

Don't leave,

I beg and plead,

I cut off my fingers,

And my ears,

There's more to me, I scream

See!

Look!

I run to them,

But before I can reach,

I drop to my knees,

As I watch them disappear into the nothingness,

After offering every part of me,

I have nothing left to be,

There's nothing left they need,

I fall onto my back and bleed,

I can feel death taking over me,

The crushing weight on my heart is being relieved,

As the nothingness swallows me,

The hollowness is overwhelming, but it feels like I'm floating,

And for once, I am happy

This feeling,

It's burnings,

So many tears begin pouring that my world becomes blurry,

I know what's coming,

But I never close my eyes because I don't want the memories,

I just want this feeling,

For once, I feel my heartbeat.

Then it dies.
