When I What

When I nibbled you ate, When I ate you devoured. The hunger of a beast, the fury of a god. The anger and wrath of the disempowered. Perhaps I’d known it was all a fraud. Now I stand in front, full of bravade. We’re one and the same, a hunger a greed. Both horrid sides of the same thing. Shock and denial, anger, bargaining. I write to you as if you aren’t me. Guilt and depression, I show no remorse. Acceptance at last, what have I become. A husk of a child, a story of olde. Look onward now, I have you beguiled. Here now I lie, a child I weep. Monster I be and a monster I grieve. I miss who I was, innocent and sweet. He who pay the cost now only be me.
