observe:

hell is a moment

HELL IS A MOMENT

I once upon I met a man

Once upon I said I can

Did not do to shine a light

I once again dismiss delight

If this makes no sense,

then you know my life..

I write through pain,

this pain I write, it gives me comfort,

it gives me sight..not clear

but dark with an overbite.

When you read this,

remember well,

it's not for you..it's just my hell!

This isn't personal, so I apologize

while I debate it's for only eyes..you hesitate,

I see the question mark,

confusion reigns,

in devils dark.

Don't read this more, it's just a lark.

If your soul is weak, then read no further

enjoy your life,don't even bother

to understand what you cannot see

let go the darkness, tis not for thee!

in daylights burn, I live and dwell

in darkness' cold become a shell

of empty threats knocking at the door.

Don't open please,

I melt to the floor..

crouching, emotions naked,

not one more time think I can take it.

Mirror, mirror on the wall

show me naught for I will fall.

Where do I stop,

where do I end

on bended knee,

to hell descend!
