The Tenth Circle

Ninth level of hell for
Betraying thy benefactor
But what about
Betraying your own heart?

You lie to yourself
(it's okay, it's okay)
Just tell yourself
That you're not wrong

Whispers in the dark
Quiet stabs to your heart
Sooth them with the ointment
Of the new and unfamiliar

You start to believe yourself
Then the truth comes down
And you've found yourself
In Hell's tenth circle

Author notes

Based on The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult.

Needs work, and a lot of it. This was jotted down in ten minutes; I'll fix it when I didn't wake up fifteen minutes ago.
