A Poem by Everett Dulin

when 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

I told you before that I loved this poem, but I was afraid to comment because it is a heavy poem, a heavy subject, and dark. But thinking literaturely, this is a great writing. Your words hits me, hits me that much I afraid to speak about. Pardon my naivety on this, you are the only poet I afraid to read his poems.
Strong poem, as always. Hope you are doing well my friend.

Hell is the greatest recruiting and control device ever invented by man.
