hell is a small place on earth
that brings you to your knees
as your heart is torn asunder
while you wait to feel again.
its a cold dark space transpired
allowing you to dream
of your failings in the afterlife,
of how you came to be.
you burn slow with desire
as you walk amongst the damned
forgiving your future transgressions
while reliving the past again.
hell is that slow motion pain
that grips your heart and twists
while you find yourself alone
celebrating your hate.
and slow is the action
of the last moment you can see
the eyes upon which you set
your moment to be free.

Yes, I agree. Impressive write! When awareness dawns of who we really are, we are out of hell.

Love,
