Down the rabbit hole we traipse
All smiles and fairy tales in our heads
What will we do, who shall we meet?
It all starts as fun and games
Naïve in our youth, indestructible it seems
Our folly was in not knowing the game we played
We couldn’t comprehend the stakes
We were but children among demented men
Indeterminable amount of time has passed
Everything seems different, even I
I had no idea the horrors that waited
Innocence had no place
I’ve washed and scrubbed, scalded and cleansed
The stains linger and only grow darker
The memories stay fresh and untarnished
While my mind succumbs to madness
“We’re all mad here…curiously so…”
I thought it but a jest
Until I noticed the bone he used to pick his teeth
The blood smeared upon his maw
I wonder how I have come to be alone
Distantly I remember screams and horrifying sounds of flesh ripping
I am alive or so I think
I cannot see for there is no light
Save for the gleam in his eye
His voice in the darkness is all I know
In this now bleak world
What is this place of nightmares?
The endless drone of the clock
His laughter and cruel eyes
My scenery you see, all I have left
I know not what is real
Only I feel my time is coming
I fear he grows bored of me
Mayhaps I should just give up
Become one more of the countless bodies
Carelessly strewn about the floor
Surely I will join them soon
God, have mercy on my curious soul.
He comes to take me.
