Animus

He was
excessive
pathological  
haunting
yet alluring
 
I followed
him down
way down
we fell
together
 
he showed me
the hell
which lived
inside  
together we burned
 
some speak
of lost  
souls  
his was
dead
 
there was
a beauty
in his
fascinating  
sickness
 
his dark
eyes glimmered
his animating principle  
was a monster
bewitching and grotesque  
 
a miscreation  
yet
somehow  
loving him
was easy
