A Corpse in the Woods

I stumbled across you in the woods
Startled by your soft murmur
You were unmistakably ill
Freezing and starving
You were beyond help
I left you there to die

Your beautiful skin
Grotesquely discolored
I could smell you rotting
Gaunt and withering
Struggling to survive
It excited my senses

A few days had passed
Your lifeless body is stiff
I can't resist the temptation
Your burning corpse
Flesh snapping and popping
Such a beautiful moment

You haunt my dreams
I wish I had been there
The moment you died
Will I ever find
Another autumn leaf
As enchanting as you?

I like this!
