There is a Hell on this earthThat stalked me since my hour of birthSnaps at my heels and bares its teeth A parasite on my belief Has me begging for the black abyss The cool caress of nothingness I’ve met with Hell from time to timeTo adjudicate my countless crimesDanced with Hell, strained to understandContinue reading “Hell and Me”
