#5 Corpses
I tug and pull and hear his stem snap
I rip rigid remains out of his back
He falls and crumples, onto the floor where I sit
Next to his brothers, now rotting in their pits
I bite into his flesh, juicy and sweet
Satisfying snaps as I break him to eat
I eat and I eat, always wanting more
Until i’ve found, i’ve eaten to his core
I finish him off, discard him for others
Now he’ll rot too, next to his brothers
Now 3 rotting, festering corpses on the ground
it’s silent, only my laughs of elation now sound
I choose my next victim, pick them quick
Their life is ended, like the snap of a stick
the sweet nectar of them, dripping down my face
Uncaring as they drip, making a mess of this place
My next victim, for laughs, i skin them alive
Seemingly inanimate, made no sounds as they died
No pleasure in this, not hearing their death cries
No eating this one, I bash her until she dies
I pick 3 more victims, in quick succession
I beat them to death, happiness their concession
My rage now placated, i’m back to my feast
With their juices on me, I’ve degraded to mere beast
I kill and I kill, break and I maim
Partake of their flesh, again and again
I cast them away, more corpses for the worms
Each bite a new taste, each kill on new terms
Say what you want, i’m evil or vicious
But I care not, for Granny Smiths are delicious
