Despair

Despair in a pit

Looking over

Peering into it

Hope disappears

Heart plummets

It is real

Not surreal

Flailing

Down in a lift

Down the shaft

Darkness closes around

Light shut out

Hope found

Now dead

Where am I?

Who cares?

Shut off in despair

Down I go

Forever descending

Cannot face life

Something shines

Down in the deep

Down in the dark

Was it a trick ?

Salvation?

Found the shiny object

It is alvation

Knife in hand

Knife in heart

End of despair
