hfA Poem by Everett Dulinwhen i walk those stairs down to hellfire altars and varnish stripped saints my bloodied lips steaming under hot air and cries when those tolling bells murmur with a priest's condemning eulogies on how i will burn eternally how i had more to my time but im going to hell for taking my life i hope there is a corner where ember haze isn't as blinding where i can stay because i am so cold, my blood's solidified because i've been waiting and waiting, until the very end but endings don't come, i never let them i had cut off my tongue, i always listened but ending's never come i woke up with hospital visits i wrote my sins on tile floors bloodied from wrists to fingertips my brain is slush, dripping out my cavities and the candle wax is melting on the altar table of apathy how i had more time i hope in hell there is a place for the damned by their hands and the punishment is softer i hope that God will understand
