Banished to Hell
Uploaded by trillianmcmillan on Jul 30, 2002
Sitting alone, so cold and afraid,
Surrounded by gray Milan fog,
Ever-present, his heart sinks low,
Frozen and ready to shatter.
Farther and farther it falls,
Trying desperately to give life to dead blood.
And in front the grayness swirls round,
With lids half shut, and eyes already gone.
Worms swarm through the sockets
Left in his head, as new skin
Crinkles and wrinkles, turning to old.
So much older than death, peeling
Away from the white structure of man.
Hair lines the soft velvet fabric
As what once was, is no longer there.
And through the bones the damned soul falls
Down and down to orange and red.
Down he goes to burn and char,
Rotting in his own misery.
His soul screams out in pain,
But ‘tis all in vain, for in Hell he shall
Forever remain. To scream and cry until his
Mouth runs dry. Through all eternity
Here shall he remain –
The price of a life lived
On earth up above.
