The hideous

Veil falls

A bitter lapsing

The first glimpse

Insufferable gloom

Unearthly darkness

Shattered doom

A lonesome letter

Called me to this tomb

A sickly cohort beckoning

"Come soon"

Bloodline rotting

Tainted from within

Inward effacement

Familiar sins

Love moves me forward

But shaking kindly hands

Cannot recompense this

Cursed flesh of man

Ancestral rot

Eldritch disease

Sister of sickness

Lies deceased

A hollow clamor

Echoes through the halls

Madeline, unburied

The house of usher falls
