Ode to a Cannibal

My cannibal, you inspire me to write.
I love the way you consume
My mind day and through night,
Always dreaming about the tomb.

Let me compare you to divine prey
You, so glorious and warm
Would never cause the decay
Of a mind with my deform

How do I love you?
Let me count the ways.
But my admiration of the untrue
Causes your great poison to fill my days.

Now I must away with a holy heart,
Remember my blessed words whilst we're apart.
