Saved by the Bell

(Written for Carry on Tuesday Prompt: Saved by the Bell)

Alone I walked through endless night

And empty thought.....I roamed

Toward nothing.

Soundless pain by my side

Cruel companion silently guiding

To nowhere.

Falling slowly into the void

Round and round, downward dove

Into emptiness

Giving in to the endless night

Walking toward endless death

Unwilling to fight

Until

A small sound, like a bell

Called me back from hell

To hope

A hand pulling me up

Words drawing me back

To live
