Writetober 2024, Horror Haven: Day 5: Good & Evil (A Neighbor II)

One night, a girl saw her neighbor, the sealing sight,

Dragging a body, through the moonlight. 

Fear turned to fascination, a strange twist

Cavernous in her heart and soul, she yearned to be his.

She watched him lurk, she watched him work, she fell in love deeper than she could ever resign

She found him lovely and alluring - a laborious master who leaves no trace behind. 

She yearned for his approval, to be his bound and betrothed

To his yearning wish - to be the one he trusted most.

Slowly she was drawn, his precious puppet on violin strings, 

Vowed to murder, kill, assist - all ensured by shiny, alluring rings.
