He uses them for everything
They often don’t mean anything
He leaves them with nothing
Varying degrees of his
Needs or wants
Determine the depth
He is forced to
Or willing
To go
Gluttony being his
Favored sin
He feasts upon
Their emotional
Need
Savoring the flavor
Of collective fear
Seasoned lightly
With his own
Desire but a word
Ecstasy a button
Easily pushed
With a pressured curve
The same spot every time
No matter the shape
The age
The size
Something he mastered
Way back when
Delighting in the power
Necessary for his
Survival
Giving them everything
Filling them up
Leaving them empty
To drown in their
Sorrow

Great work…As always
Powerful writting. Love it.
I have known one like this. Beautifully stated.
Thanks, Dee.
