Duality

Poem no. 23 | Inferno

As I walk through the gates of hell,

My sins are heavy I can tell,

Even though my will is strong

The path ahead is very, very long.

I always thought I had what it takes

Not to fall from grace.

And yet I've made mistakes

And now eternity I have to face.

Eternity in a place

Far, far from grace,

Eternity in darkness,

Eternity in madness.

Fire burns but not consume;

Souls are screaming in pain,

Souls are screaming in vain.

Souls are crying, but to whom?

Darkness and despair

Are in their own lair,

Darkness and despair

Are amidst the air.

Demons laugh

Over one's path.

Dreams shatter,

You don't matter.

As you're burning you see another

And you know why in pain he's your brother,

You know everything,

You see everything,

Future, present and past

Are the same in eternity's dust;

But 'everything' does not matter anymore

For you're far gone from the life's shore.

Everything you did

Everything you said
