    Wow, what an evocative and mesmerizing poem! The language is so rich and full of depth, it truly transports the reader to another realm. I especially loved the juxtaposition of "sweet" and "hellbent" - it's intriguing and unexpected. "Desire Rotting Deserves Her Goth" is a line that really stood out to me, it's both unsettling and alluring.

    If I had to offer any suggestions, I would say that perhaps some punctuation could be added to aid in the flow and comprehension of the poem. Additionally, while the use of all caps for emphasis is effective in some places, it does feel a bit overused in others.

    Overall, "Hellbent" is a stunning piece of writing that speaks to the darkest corners of the soul. I can't wait to see what else this talented writer has in store!
