I like what I see So many people in view Juicy and meaty is how I like it My tongue gets wetter I had an impulse to eat them Especially the children They were small and vulnerable I hid out of view Knowing they couldn’t see me I was ready to go after them A cake was brought out The candles flickered with fire I took a step back I wasn’t afraid of the candles A shocking memory came to mind These weren’t strangers I wanted to eat They were my family How did I forget They cheered when I blew out my candles Now I was a monster It was too late for me My hunger grew I was starving The impulse grew stronger I had made up my mind I was going to eat them anyways
