hell

I've heard it said before that hell is filled with fire

a place you'll surely burn for your sins and your desires

where flesh is ripped from bone and demons own your soul

but to be honest the only hell i've known is a deep icy cold

where words are shallow and intentions unknown

where people have become jaded and love is not condoned

where the preachers and the righteous are one in the same

where the holy accepts not, and revels in shame

where two hearts intwined in truth can be cast off 

because their anatomy, color, religion, are wrong

yes the only hell i've known puts a frost in my soul

when a heart beat slows and flesh starts to numb

and the liquid in your veins no longer flows radically and free

then hell,

hell is where you happen to be.
