Stepping Into the Abyss

By Forever MidnightPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Through shadows cast by the moon’s gleam,

Toby, Katie named him, weaves her dark dream.

His voice, his whispers, echoing through the night,

Guides Katie through the twisted sights

In every stroke of her blade, the bloody display,

Toby’s power only grows, his influence at play.

Calling on his followers from afar the come,

Drawn to her newfound light, their ‘hearts’ falling numb.

Gathering among the darkness as a congregation of the damned,

Bound by untainted devotion to Toby, in sync to hail.

Together as a family, drinking of the blood so profane,

Praising with celebration of Toby’s glory, proclaiming his name

Luring unsuspecting souls, drawn by such curiosity,

Unknowing to what lies ahead for them and the bloody scene.

Promising of secrets and endless wonders untold,

Only lead to their doom, their fate sealed, forever cold

Stepping into the abyss,

Now pawns in Toby’s world, entrapped within his twist.

Screams of pure terror fueling his power, fresh blood his delight,

Reveling in the his families fun and crimson filled night.

Amidst the madness, the screams of despair,

Katie standing tall, her soul gone and beyond repair.

Toby’s chosen vessel, his right hand leader, his queen,

Together, forever to reign, a sight unseen.

With his power only growing, taking on a new body, a new form,

Spirit manifesting in the vessel of a young soul now warm.

Katie, his queen, worshipped now as their leader, bowing to him in glee,

In the darkness of their souls, forever free!

Dancing among the shadows, their symphony complete,

With their followers worshipping at their feet.

In the depths of the forever night, as darkness reigns supreme,

Toby, Katie, ruling together in a endless twisted dream.
