RELIGIOUS POETRY?!

[Part two of my 'Religious' Poetry Project: Part One]
Hell

by Mushroom

There was fire in my ears
when I heard your words: the
‘love’ between ‘you’ and ‘I’;
They burst into flames
And burned my hair, and
Scorched me in the eye;
Love flowed from your lips
And melted my tongue, much to
My mouth’s delight;
And the scent of cooked flesh
Lingered and soared
Still everything felt right;
My skin oozed sweat while
The flames grew high, even
Stronger than before;
My conscience was burning
To the ground, my
Values deemed no more;
I wanted to ask you
What 'everything' meant, but my
Throat went suddenly dry;
As you held me my body
Came apart, and then
I knew ‘twas all a lie;
Your rhymes lit the candle
While pouring the gas, and soon
My soul fell dead;
Not one bone left, only
Ashes and dust, and kind
Words left unsaid.
