He wined me, dined me, put me in a pan and baked me
He poured my blood into a cup and drank it
I sat across the table from him and watched him nibble at my feet
He ate my fingers and my toes
He tore out my heart and he ate it
He inserted a straw into my skull and sucked out my brains
I fed myself to him
All I ever wanted to do was satisfy him
I lay on his black silken sheets and I gave myself to him
That he may never lack
I gave it all to him
And when I was left without life in me
I gave my soul to him
But I was never enough for him
