Feeding The Beast


Awake, get up!
I’m still thirsty
Sipll a few drops more on my dry tongue
What? you have shed enough blood for me?
Silence, pawn.
I can play you until your veins run empty
Your knife is my marionette
You hands are my own
Oh, hush, daarling, don’t be afraid
And come closer, won’t you?
Spare me just a few more shavings of your skin
Or just one more cup to soothe my poor parched throat
Have pity on an ancient beast
There’s a good dear now
I trully must comment you
Quite delicious, really
Oh, don’t cry
It can’t hurt that much
Besides, you like it anyways
Oh shush! I know you do.
What’s that?
Yes, I love you too
Ssssss, now, more blood

Interesting, I wonder if it's the devil or a snake.

You don't describe the beast. As a result, I'm stuck picturing the beast from "The Beauty and the Beast" (Disney style). Still, this dialogue poem might be better served by giving the victim the lines, not the bad guy.
