Are You Hungry?

You are at the table with
a plate before you full of
delicious food.

Food that you gobble and scarf
down like you've never ate a damn
day in your life.

You're still so hungry though,
your stomach growls in contempt.

It hungers, you hunger but there
is no food left to devour.

The overwhelming hunger controls
your body and before you realize it
your fingers are being gnawed to shreds
in your mouth.

The blood is sour
            (but so FUCKING sweet)
and the flesh burns
            (and it feels so FUCKING good)

You can't stop.
It hurts so bad.
You can't stop.

Are you still hungry?
