i've sunk too low
too far down into the
pit of fire
burning in hell
my pools of tears 
cannot extinguish the
dancing flames
dancing with excitement 
all around me
i'm just standing there
with no given purpose
standing in the midst of hell
burning in silence
crying unnoticed
my angels standing above me
watching me
but did not help me
they laughed wickedly
with a gleam in their eyes
satisfied of my fate
that i'm in the inferno
in hell
