Falling through Hell

I am falling through hell
Here we go again
I’m chilled to the bone
In a world of eighteen thousand degrees

I am falling away
One last look at that darkening sky
Wish I could have said goodbye
Yet I still wonder why

What made the floor drop beneath me
Sending me further and further away
From where I was meant to stay
In the arms of those I loved
And amongst those who cared
About whether I lived or died
Did no one wonder why?

So here I am, alone
Falling through the depths of hell
Will I see them again?

It is dark once more
The fire is finally gone
But what is left in its place is worse
Since it was all I had
And now I am here alone
Just me, myself, and I
No longer with the sky

A few tears caress my face
But I brush them all away
What use do tears have for me
When I am falling through hell?

A light opens from above
Offering warmth that comforts and consoles
I am no longer falling through hell
Hell is now falling through me

I leave it carrying with me a threat
That it will be back for me another day
To finally tear me apart
Until I am too far gone to save
This is a poem I wrote about a month ago, I was going through some tough times, but this wasn't written about me, but about a character in one of my novels, it's in his point of view based on how lost he feels, about how nothing seems to go right.
