Dark Vortex

For my friend who is struggling right now. Take care and stay safe. Faith over fear, together. 

Dark vortex
By Michelle Morris

Don't go to that dark place
It will grab hold of your soul
It is a dark abyss
That will devour you whole

These aching moments
These teardrops that you still
Fighting to escape from
The bitter taste of ashes from hell

If you go into that dark vortex
You may not return again
But if you must proceed therein
Please take me with you as your friend

I will hold your hand, dear
I will stem the tide of fear
I will keep close to you
I will be there 'til the end

I accept I cannot rescue you
I accept that I'm no superhero
But everyone needs someone strong
Who can help them with their sorrow

Don't go into that dark place
But if you go, don't go alone
Let's light up the darkness together
Let's work to find a safe way home
