On the misty shores where Charon's ferry glides
Brother stepped into a cab, on a fateful midnight ride
Styx's waters beckoned, a dance with the dark
Addiction's grip tightened, a journey he embarked
Charon's meter ticking, coins of life to pay
Hades whispers, led my brother astray
Icarus in flight, wings melting in despair
Overdose's kiss, a descent beyond repair
Erebus told tales, Icarus' tragic flight
Brother soared too close, lost in the night
Charybdis of addiction, a whirlpool so deep
Drowning in substances, promises to keep
Sirens sang their lullabies, a twisted melody
I tried to stop him, but he sailed recklessly
Chasing highs, like a moth to the flame
In the underworld's grip, he lost the game
Crows gathered, a black-winged choir
Hecate wept, torches flickered in the mire
Charon's ferry returned, an empty shell
Brother's journey ended in addiction's spell
Now a casket's embrace, in deathly repose
Everyone weeps as my brother's journey closed
Corpse returned, a tragic tale told
In the underworld's grip, his story to loathe
