I travel to the depths,
...in search of my tomorrow,
Seeking dispensation,
...relief from endless sorrow.

Dark bridge of melancholy,
...my sanity its toll,
Etched upon my soul within,
...does Thanatos inscroll.

I climb upon the ladder,
...gateway to the mind,
Each ring does carry lower,
...what hell have gods divined?

They speak of absolution,
...relief from sorrow's pain,
False gods I have consulted,
...illusions still remain.

Previously I've entered,
...the realm of silent screams,
Now I'm lost forever,
...within my waking dreams.

POWERFUL WRITING! I loved it!

A somber, lightless look at disillusionment, decomposition of spirit. You do it all so well.
