“Hell is a place on earth, they say.

Shakespeare got that one right.
For I have been torturing myself
over things that I could never change.
Hell is a place on earth;
it‘s in my mind.
and you are the one
sitting on the Devil‘s throne.
I can‘t forget you.”
― Nessie Q., I'm Sorry. I Know It's Too Late... But This is How I Loved You
