Carcinogenic

Consume me.

Ravage me like an animal.

I want to be chased, I want to feel sought after. Untamable.

A teaspoon of Fear is easy to exchange in the brain for Enticement.

Confusion can be Consuming.

It's all fun and games- until -I've realized this is something you've done all too many times before. That for you the game is more then Predictable but Pleasurable.

Perfectly planned, in fact, I fell into you like a moth is drawn to a flame. Uncontrollable desire to you until the Diatribe broke the tangible silence.

Play turned to Prey, a deadly Predator you revealed gnashing teeth in vocal tirades, touching me with your words in a way that still felt violating.

Tossing my mind with manipulation & mind games, masquerading as the consumer, and I your treat. Your play-thing to be used, just like the last, gnawed down to the bone and then discarded once the bone's been had and fuc- Plucked.

You were crafty though, allowing the feeling of control to dance around my mind. Thrusting false authority upon me, was the best advantage you could have planted. An illusion of control is often all that's needed.

Carcinogenic.

You ebbed into me feelings of delight & flavor, not all together healthy but wrong in the best way. You made me feel like I was getting away with something so dirty, naughty, tasty... Funny how poison can be so pleasant.

A taste was all it took to tether me in. That should have been all I needed to know this wasn't so spontaneous- instead a ploy for your next meal. A fixation you have mastered & I was just the next course you had mused after.

It was too late by the time my minds eye opened and I had realized I was just this months preferable flavor. I had gotten lost in the dance before dinner, your dialect delectable, disorienting... wait I'm in Danger.
