My Poetic Escape

This Is Hell***

Hell is your delicate laugh
Tracing the features of his face
While I stand in place
Watching all we built fade away
Hell is a beating heart
That told me to stay
But ended up leaving me the next day
Hell is pretending everything is okay
When death is surely the only way
Hell is this house
The four walls
And the picture that fell
But wasn't supposed to fall at all
Hell is my six foot grave
Calling my name everyday
Hell is his smile
His face
Hell is all our memories
Burning away
Hell is your goodbye
That never reached my place
Hell is letting you go yesterday
When you were the one
That was supposed to save the day
Hell is writing this for you
And knowing you don't have a clue
I guess the tables have turned
I'm not the one saying
Go away
I'm the one begging you to stay
This is hell
It's not some fabricated dream
It's real life for me
But it surely seems
I'm the only one seeing the burning trees
I'm the only one
With the world collapsing on me
