Hell

Do you hear him calling
his call of the wild
he wants you
he needs you
he will take you down

Like a beam of light
he encircles you
dances around you
mocking
laughing
will you follow?

Scream for help
will anyone hear
is there anyone
out there
that will hear you cry?

He takes more of you
never gives
he exhausts you
and bleeds you
until he consumes you
robbing the last drop of sweat
from your brow

You fight
but can you ever win?
