How Disgusting

The red horizon
The bloodstained moon
White monoliths of rotting flesh
I found you prostrate
In this godforsaken place

The solemn oracle
Stood silently for a moment
Upon the red water
Before she vanished
With my hope

Every word you speak, you save face
Every step you take, you break pace
And you’re still no different
Here at the end

I brought my hands to your throat
As if to choke the life from this nightmare
You placed your hand on my jaw
A soft caress, and I knew I was awake
I knew that this was not a dream

To choose life
To die alone
With me
Forever and a curse

How disgusting
This is
I am
