Because Hell Has Won (#BecauseILoveYou)


Because the Earth shakes...

Because the massive world can crumble...

Because of Hell and Heaven’s constant tempestuous battle...

I choose to live

Vigilantly careless,

Empitaly hopeful,

And apprehensively calm.

Because the Earth is steady…

Because the massive world is a wonder…

Because Hell never beats Heaven...

You choose to live

With an unimpeded clearness,

Amicably harmonious,

And inspiring numinousness.

Because the Earth shatters...

Because the massive world is empty...

Because Hell and Heaven exist…

I fight your help,

You fight my diverged intentions,

We break.

Because I love you...

I stay behind...

You run ahead...

We pretend to match.

Because I love you...

Hell has finally won.
