Scarlet Rot

Woke up face down
Beside a pool of blood on the ground
Not sure how I got here
Not sure if I'll be found
Don't recognize this place
Don't recognize the smell
The skulls
The animals hung on the walls

Nothing seemed real
Dim light small room
And a language that crumbled my tongue
A skull on a pedestal
With it's empty fangs
And face pointed East
Drawing the circle in blood
My blood
Her blood
BLOOD EVERYWHERE
And a huge swirling vortex
And the weight of every start collapsing
In my chest
CARCOSA
Everything about her is a blur
She's covered in dead roses
She told me she'd show me the stars
As long as I was all hers
Universe be damned

She said I failed her
That my life is too full of light

The corners of her mouth crack
The sound of her voice becomes a howl

Knife to palm
Knife to neck

I can taste aluminum and ash
On the ragged path
To Carcosa
