Is This Hell
Is this hell?
Fire scorching my skin
but I also feel cold,colder than ice
I shiver yet it burns
Will the pain ever stop?
I'm oblivious to anything but the pain
Is any help for me?
Is it late for that?
No, my child, HE says
I barley hear him over over my screaming
But I cry out
and he reaches a hand to me
I stretch, but something holds me back
An invisible force
pulling me farther into the fire
I try to resist,
but the burning aches on through the night
More invisible forces join
They are too strong for me
But then one drop follows the other
His rain pous over me
Cools and soothes my skin
like the relief of water in a parched throat
And I have been saved!!!
