Insatiable

Shallow under skin and flesh, 

my blood is lying warm and fresh.

 

Rip my skin and make it flow,

feast on my oozing ichors bestow.

 

Carmine and metallic in taste,

trying to still your greed and haste.

 

My skin goes pale and my heartbeat slows,

my last whispered words "Let me doze.."
