when you enter the depths
of despair
and you keep going deeper
fearing the bottom, fearing eternity
when you cry
out
and there's no answer
you need
when you fear
the end
and no end
when thoughts assail
attack
dissemble
your mind
hold on to the one
who will never let go
when your head goes under
know you will
look up
when you light flickers
know you will
alight again
when you lose your grip
don't!
hold on
cling
grind your teeth
clench your fists
sob
hold on to Him.
hold on to Him
for he will
never
never
never
let go.
