Ravenous

It was not the smell of her body it was the sense of her presence.
A hunger in me awoke oddly and I simply had no defense.
What rushed to me clearly was a need to take her fiercely.
Merely my prey and purely mine by the end of the day.
My words began to ensnare and her wits could not bare
as I kissed her open mouth and grasped the back of her hair
She laid before me all she ever had, now vulnerable and bare.
My attempts were too amplified
I sucked out her life and bled her heart dry.
A feeding frenzy, she was devoured whole
and I underestimated the exquisite taste of her soul.
Their shine never seems to eclipse my black hole
so next time I must exhibit better self-control.
Then I would not destroy that which I love and pay another toll
adding yet another set of bones to my bottomless sinkhole.
