Analysis of Hell



You always have something to say
How I look
What I say
What I do
How I tell

You put me in Hell
And hold heaven over my head
Like a halo
Though; it's solely to distract me
from the catastrophe
From the flames
licking at my feet
I feel them steadily creeping
          up                       up

up                 up

up
Now they're searing my calf
oh but still
I hold fast to you

I look into your big brown eyes
I plead to you
you have the water
to put out the flames
that scar and maim
mar my skin
I'll never live
they'll kill me
burn me alive

But you stand there and watch
as my charred skin falls apart

Izabella Brand

I am just a girl who loves to write. I believe there is beauty in focusing on individual words, rather than sentences. It makes you think about it more than maybe a book or short story would. Plus, there is much more symbolism in poetry, one line can be read 100 times and be understood differently each time. more…
