To Hell

...but not yet back

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

You fall into recesses

Of your self-injurious mind

Head-over-heels, self-loathing for what?

Again

You've a hand encumbered

With the grasp I engage

To hold you just short of Hell

Yet again

Dangling above the abyss

My five loving fingers

Struggle to save, determined

Again...

...because I'd go there with you
