You Know Nothing of Hell

hell is wanting to give in
hell is wishing you could cry
hell is putting on a smile
while deep inside you die

hell is wanting to let go
hell is always holding on
hell is trying to move forward
when the one you love is gone

hell is feeling nothing
hell is being cold
hell is leaving the future
between the two of you untold

hell is giving one last hug
hell is having one last kiss
hell is knowing she won't come back
hell is this
