cannibalism?

i know it's highkey controversial but does anyone else feel like cannibalism is such an intimate thing? and the idea of it being used as a metaphor to explain how much you want to be with/near someone is so beautiful.  my favorite poems are the ones that are basically "i love you and i need you to be as close as possible to me, even if that means consuming you;" also !! it reminds  me of that book Where the Wild Things are, yk? "please don't go, we'll eat you up, we love you so," and that book had such a lasting impact on my idea of love as a young child, that i feel like the literature and poetry that i consume today almost pays tribute to that?  idk maybe i'm being weird and everyone thinks i'm a freak and i need to be institutionalized but i think it's beautiful.

okay thanks for humoring me.

ciao.
