A power rises-
surges-
Bending and pulsing within a molten core
Boiling blood and fire
Through an ebony abyss, begins to pour
A hatred burns-
tortures-
Scorching an already bleeding soul
Creeping through the heart
Rage has blindly all compassion stole
A curse consumes-
destroys-
Suffocating a life with promised lies
Lying deep within a bitterness
Wrapped in folds of pain, it twists and writhes
A hope remains-
but fades-
Offering a far less tempting choice
Cruelty and forgiveness reign in turn
One who bears a grudge heeds but one voice
Author notes
I've been reading Dante's Inferno lately... can you tell? 
Heh...
