Poems Of The Dark

Hell Is Empty

Hell is empty
My soul escaped
But not alone
You dragged me out
With the strength of only two hands
No god or other being to help
Your strength alone was enough to vanquish the demons that plagued my heart
And the remaining fragments of my soul
Even when I begged for you to end me there and then still you had faith in me
So pull me out of this hole again and again until I understand what it is you are doing
You fell so far but my strength was nothing compared to yours
I didn't know how to do, what you did to me
So I did nothing and pushed you away from me
You left believing that would fix this
But instead I fell again and without you there to pull me up
I dug myself a deeper hole, trying to get to you
You returned, strong again with power I could never have obtained
I don't deserve you anymore
Or this life that you believe is for me
Maybe it is my turn to leave again
This time for good . . .
