Stairway to hell...

There I was

standing between two forces

trying to tear my chest open

with the bare hands...

They argue

like a married couple

good vs evil

the demon and an angel...

I'm drawn to the darker

corners of the earth

disappointing 

the angel on my left..

A tear fell from his blue eyes

 my soul was already

taken

my heart will always be yours..

I hear the bell ring for the last time

as the I watched him 

disappear into the light

knowing all wasn't lost...

My demon will take care of me

not in a way you'd think

hell is not all that bad

I can stand mess

and the stink...

It's a long way down

but I guess

that's the start of my torture

the long stairway to hell..

Author's Note

I'm in a dark world at the moment... Keri Dawn' fault..

I don't know if there is a hell or heaven? I read of Dante's Hell in his book. I agree with the ending. If hell is like the description in Dante's inferno. Could be a bad ending. A interesting poem. Open the door to great discussion. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Well done, likes the use of colors to accentuate the words you wanted to stand out. I picked this because of the inverse thought of stairway to heaven and was not disappointed at all!

This is an excellent poem, by any standards.
I think you become a little too subjective
at times, but your writing is brilliant.
Stick to your writing, your writing will pull
you from the depths and show you the truth.
Excellent !

Ahhhh choosing the bad boy... in a love triangle it will eventually be heaven for one and hell for the one left behind.

My demon will take care of me
not in a way you'd think
hell is not all that bad
I can stand mess
and the stink...

I love this part, very witty.

Just the poem. This is a surprisingly light treatment of a dark subject, but handled perfectly. It creates an imagry that draws you in and sujectifies you to the plight. It makes you understand the situation, and like it or not, wear the consequence. The word play is excellent and places a sympathy in your mind that nestles next to the undestanding. A brilliant poem.
