i thought i ate you already

Writer: hil hooverhil hoover

haven't we been here before

my ravenous mouth gaping

your desperate sweetness

egging me on, unable to be

anything but tempting by

nature?

isn't this taste a little too familiar

to simply be the same brand

the same flavor, a repeated meme

year after year, something that

could be brought back again

rebooted for each

generation?

please don't play games with me

i've eaten enough poison

for a thousand lifetimes

and never yet

found myself

able to stay dead

call it a failing of mine


i thought i ate you already

so why am i finding you

in my hands again

this year


please this has to end

at some point so just

explain how we keep

getting back here


i don't think it's anything

so ridiculous as free drugs

- who has that much money

to waste -

so it has to be a curse

or maybe a wish gone wrong


it's not that you aren't delicious

but i can't taste anything else

anymore

and i just can't stop thinking


my belly ought to be full by now

and i miss being able to want

anything else
