The sky is empty – I am ****** down here. Hell is in my heart, It is burning through my blood. Its relentless beating, scorching Will leave me to ashes; I am ****** to myself. The sky is empty – The world is divinely alone. Sadness greets me like a lover, It is omnipresent, it listens, it watches It envelopes me like a dark cloak Its gentle familiarity Is my favourite sin. I clasp my hands together just to feel I am living, That I exist in my skin. The sky is empty – I shed a tear, a drop of holy water. I have felt. I am cleansed. In the depths of my misery, I am blessed. It is nighttime. I contemplate the dark sky, with its distant stars. I create the world again. Let there be light, I say.

Hell
The sky is empty – I am ****** down here. Hell is in my heart, It is burning through my blood. Its relentless beating, scorching Will leave me to ashes; I am ****** to myself. The sky is empty – The world is divinely alone. Sadness greets me like a lover, It is omnipresent, it listens, it watches It envelopes me like a dark cloak Its gentle familiarity Is my favourite sin. I clasp my hands together just to feel I am living, That I exist in my skin. The sky is empty – I shed a tear, a drop of holy water. I have felt. I am cleansed. In the depths of my misery, I am blessed. It is nighttime. I contemplate the dark sky, with its distant stars. I create the world again. Let there be light, I say.
