Hell

If life is love --- and love is life

I'm sure I must be dead.

I know I'm not in heaven ---

Must have gone to hell, instead.

For where I am --- there is no love

It's been gone for quite a while,

And I've been searching for it ---

But it must be out of style.

Discarded and forgotten ---

Because it didn't sell ---

No market here for love,

There's no room for love in hell.
