The pain of fear

As I imagine hell
The oils of your hate
Burn me deep
Raw with anguish.

Emotions rise to the pain
And hold me captive
To the truth
Of what you are.

The touch of fear
Sinks in
Afraid the pain will remain
Until I am burned away.

A touch of hope
That I will learn
To embrace the pain
Like a man to war.

But the beautiful
Excruciating pain
Tears at me.
Conquering me.

Until all hope is gone
Leaving me exposed
And bleeding
To your will.
