Eyes of pain now look upon me,
Hurtling my soul into a darkened sea.
Strange and horrifying dimensions
Now began to unfold before me.
Flames intense, fires burning bright
giving way to screams of strife.
Lost souls clamor helplessly in the night
And my once placid existence
Has far been removed from me.
Pray tell, Lord how can this be?
For all the eye can see
Are cliffs of molten rock
Reaching upward into blackness
disappearing into an eternal sea.
Misshapen figures dance terrors dance
All broken and naked before me,
They dance and dance and dance.
Forever doomed to this horrors jig.
With their eyes of pain
They look and stare at me with disdain.
I cringe at the torment of eternal time
That lay stretched across their soulless faces.
Vile and Putrid smells assail me,
wafting upward in an endless stream,
With each new and wrenching smell
carrying me deeper into this horrible dream.
Flesh, burning,
melting to the bone
Souls yearning,
but to be left alone.
The stench
The pain,
The thirst
Unable to quench
Knowing,
yeah knowing
That we will remain.
Oh, God remove
from Me, this pain,
God?
Where art thou?
Oh God,
forsake me not
Where oh Lord
is thy grace.
Hear my plea and,
Be my hiding place…
God? .....
God?..............

somtimes doubt.
Great write!
