I do not remember a time I was on the other side of the veil
a time before the time I would know about how we fell
The purpose we serve as the vessels of flesh
that we touch and explore, and that we never should tell
Those who whisper across the barrier crave innocent minds
never knowing who will answer, who the grooming finds
hands reaching into the membrane, groping, unknown
not caring of the aftermath and how it all unwinds
The monsters are known to us
never aliens from beyond
No demons sneaking over
or spirits to respond
The monsters will infect you
If you take the poison to heart
purge yourself, end the cycle
Don’t let the infection start
We are human, we are broken
We are used and then discarded
our scars left festering
since the wounds were imparted
