Don't dare to cross the line, my dear,
Beware of morbid implications,
Of atrocities so sweet, of fear,
Of nightmares coming true, damnation.

Toe the line, just once, my love,
And like an acrobat hold tight,
For demons rule the sky above,
But hell is worse – you know I'm right.

This world is madness, so beware:
No going back if you but stumble.
If insanity a friend declares,
Dare not surrender with no struggle.

Know: I've looked beyond it all,
And scarred for life I came back through.
Ignore the multi-voices call,
No longer 'tis the place you knew.

Dance, o dance, but never touch
The triumph of the dark divine.
What distance put is never much:
Don't ever dare to cross the line.
Written for =dreamsinstatic's :iconpoetry-screams: prompt contest.

I chose the prompt "Descent into Madness".
