(This is dedicated to our favorite boys, the Winchesters who each had to see the other go to Hell and then left the other behind, sharing their Hell right here on Earth. We love you guys!)
Hell
You feel him scream within your head.
You feel him wish that he were dead.
You feel the blade slice his flesh
You feel the pain in him refresh.
You see his face in all your dreams
You see him come apart at the seems
You see him struggle against the chains
You see and join him in his pain.
You smell the fire all around
You smell the sharpening blade come round
You smell the sweat on the demon's brow
You smell Sammy even when you're awake now.
You taste the blood on your tongue
You taste the ash the fires brung
You taste the air so hot around him
You taste the breaths so shallow and grim.
You hear him call over and over your name
You hear his cry out as the demons him they maim
You hear his scream for you his brother
You hear him call out for no other.
Hell is torment of his soul.
Hell wants to swallow him whole
Hell holds him away from you
To save him there is nothing you won't do.
(Please review and let me know your thoughts about this poem involving the five senses and the ways our boys experienced them as they took turns going to Hell.)
