Just Like You.

She was just like you
She was normal
She ate, slept and went to school
Just like you.
The she was cursed by corruption.
She became enraged, petty and envious,
Falling deeper into darkness.
Now she creeps in the night,
In the shadow of your soul,
In your worst nightmare.
She hunts for her next victim
She tries to corrupt.
You resist and fight back,
She begins to weaken
You deliver the final blow
She falls into death slowly.
Her name was Nyx
And she was just like you.
