like a blade as is breaks the skin, my words will flay you.

hell is your room in the dead of night and forgotten lyrics to songs that once felt like our entire soul

hell is wandering the trailer park at one in the morning with a cold can of ginger ale in your hand and no shoes on, staring into the trees and getting this strange notion that something is dragging you in. 

Hell is sitting on the fire escape stairs and filling your body with poison while remembering how many friends you’ve pushed away.

Hell is looking into the eyes of those you care about and realizing they’ve always been that cold.

hell is knuckle deep in the ashes of the city you burned burned burned to the ground as you try to find the remnants of what once was before the fire came

hell is crying my eyes out underneath the stars, screaming out questions that will never be heard or answered, feeling this sinking feeling that the rest of your life will not get any better

hell is realizing that this place is a truly dog-eat-dog world, with even ones you thought as friends disappearing faster than you can kill them

hell is walking through the doors of the home you thought you’d burned down, wearing a smile and looking at all the masks that greet you

hell is the shrill sound which bursts from your lips when you finally break, the tension having finally snapped you and the ringing silence which follows 

Feel my teeth sink into your skin. Feel me tear your flesh. I want you to scream and to know the fear when you realize no one is coming to save you.
