• I am not hungry
    any more.
    So why
    do you keep feeding me
    these pale,
    wretched creatures
    who scream
    and writhe
    and wail
    when I burn
    the flesh
    from their bones?
    Why
    do you keep feeding me
    their children
    who will never know
    the world,
    only me?
    I am God's shadow;
    an angel
    whose black wings seep
    from the dark castle's tower.
    I am a vibrant angel;
    an evil angel.
    I carry you
    to heaven high
    then return to my home
    to devour
    those pale,
    wretched creatures.
    I am God's shadow;
    a demon
    who dances with fiery glee
    through Hell.
    I am a caustic demon;
    a hungry demon,
    but
    I am not hungry
    any more.
