Through the Veil to the World of the Dead
Once the world was full of wonders.
Then the unspoken, inevitably happened...

It begins with tumultuous tears of fear.
It morphs into the absence of mind.
Plagued with incomprehensible drear.
Jaded to the absence of time.

Futile, of no tangible consequence.
My path has been unquestionably chosen.
No turning back from this dismal craze.
My life is now broken and barren.

I lost my foot-hold and perilously I stumbled.
Down, down, down, into the abyss of despair.
My heart, like ice blocks, it crumbled.
Alice in Wonderland couldn't compare.

This journey I took to the land of the lost,
severed my veins, and my bloodshed.
So, I stepped up to the ledge and I crossed.
Through the veil to the world of the dead.
