^{_{"Heartbreak is a hungry beast."}}

I ate myself the other day Unhinged my jaw and chomped away No crumb was left after I dined No limbs, or head, or crooked spine Each bite I took was bittersweet Laced with love and shamed defeat I didn't even say goodbye To all I loved and held so high My tummy rumbled, so then I ate What was left of me, That you didn't take

That first line whets your appetite! The second line satisfies, yet leaves you wanting more. Very nice rhyming and timing. A poem that is a pleasure to consume. Thank you for this :)
