Masterpiece of His Abuse

Or His Dark Muse - Dark Poetic Introduction/excerpt for a forthcoming horror story.

So the bells toll

So all will know

His time has come

His will be done

As the moon rises

They lift their disguises

Dance until the dawn

Until hope is gone

No better tomorrow

Drown in the sorrow

He'll tear at your heart

His perfect work of art

You'll be his dark muse

Masterpiece of his abuse

Thanks for reading!

Author's Note: Currently working on a story in my WIP folder that includes this poem. The story is not ready yet, but I'm pleased with the darkness and intrigue of the poem as a standalone piece, so wanted to publish it as an intro/taster for the story.
