Hades

He came in the night
On his steed of shadow
Uninvited
Like Hades for Persephone
Reaching for the fruit
Not his to eat
One touch
And what's ripe and sweet
Began to rot

Follow him
Don't follow him
Follow him down
Don't

A shroud for your eyes
You don't have to witness this
Entangled
Taken by shadow and silence
Filled with the dark
Hollowed out
Hallowed
You're in the underworld now
Act like it

Follow him
Follow him down
And stay
