"I love it when it rains, because no one can tell when you cry."-Me (it is part of a poem that i wrote


As the fog rolls in
I am chilled to the core
It is because of all the sin
That has locked all but this door

What then goes through my head?
I am in pain
Be careful of where I tread
For I show no shame

The age that has now come to an end
But down I walk despite your tricks
Then I round the bend
And arrive at the River Styx

The boat rows up
With the ferry man rowing
Drop my toll into his cup
Then the final breaths escape my chest as I see the fires in the distant pits glowing

Drop to my knees
Scream for salvation
But my heart still sees
I can never be saved from eternal damnation
