We Will Swallow You Whole

A short horror inspired poem

Our abattoir, our home

You've entered unknowing

Come hither, come hither

Tender-footed foal

And pay heed to our many

Narratives untold

Tales of passion, Tales of woe

Tales of abject terror

That make your sanity go

Macabre horrors

That will make your insanity show

And only when your mind is fractured

Will our stories cease

Then we will sate you with rapture

Until you're tender enough

To satisfy our needs

And you will be acutely aware

As we swallow you whole

Taking a special delight

In tasting your fragile mortal soul
