My Scarlet Goddess

My scarlet goddess, 

Eyes aflame with passion and burning in lust, 

Always tempting me to follow along with your bliss

That leads only to ruin, an oblivion in shadowed depths

Yet, I trail just behind, desperately trying to trace

Your unparalleled magnificence, your ethereal beauty

I walk beside you, all the while knowing, 

Your love promises nothing but destruction

Still, I kneel before your throne of corpses, 

Crimson petals caressing the ivory flesh of my legs

I worship you with everything I am, all that I have

My scarlet goddess, 

Always tempting me to follow you into death
