Depths of Despair

In the depths of despair I sank fathoms down so deep suffocation filled lungs with defeat; in the darkest of hours no light cracked the shell, no matter how much I would plead and entreat. The world turned to ice and froze me right out, snaked into the marrow and writhed in the mind; I dreamed of a time when the final cut allow me part company with humankind. When all seemed so hopeless and curtains would fall a ray pierced the blackness and shone at my soul; and gradually, achingly found where I live, lit up my life and eclipsed the black hole. A meeting by chance, a random encounter put back the sun and turned me around; you never can tell who's a guardian angel, or likewise the source of salvation be found.
