Creeping through the darkness
Fog fills my lungs and blurs my sight
My gaze sets on a blazing beast
Eyes cut through me like a sharpened knife
I tried to cast my hypnotic spell
Until his antlers pinned me down
Tore open my bleached skin and stained me wine
By dusk my head was dizzy and light
My vision doubled so I closed my eyes
My palms reached for my wounded limbs
Feeling empty that the pain had disappeared
One night is all he took under the almond tree
Then the Blazing Beast abandoned me
The thick amber bark held up the golden leaves to breath
Ribbons of light peek through the branches and onto the concrete
Putting one foot in front of the other I skip into what seemed like another world
The comfortable breeze blowing the strands of my hair into unnatural positions
A tune better than any I've heard before played in my ears
When I realized this was too good to be true

I took off my rose colored glasses to a sight I couldn't believe
A grey sky reflected shadows off of bloodless trees into shapes my mind couldn't fathom
The road was a dead end and my feet were rooted into the ground
The music stopped and the voices started
My voice ran dry and my screams were mute
This place was destroyed and there was no way to get out

— The End —
