We ate fruit from the tree your soul nourished
We relied on your tears as our source of water
We bred in your warmth, shed skin in your veins
We were only here to feed, but you called us by our names.
They should have warned you to swim towards the depth
There, sad men dwell, but parasites can't be kept

something I like about this poem is that pretty much every line returns to the original theme of hunger/food. This gives the poem a very nice flow, making it very easy and pleasurable to read.
