Losing Hope
Drowning in a sea of terror,
Reaching for a stronger rope.
Destiny is drawing near,
And I think I've lost my hope.
Hands to help me, hands to save,
Hands to guide me, hands to pray.
Hands to lead me to my grave.
Hands to take my hope away.
Lost within the dark abyss,
Losing hope and losing faith.
Giving into Death's cold kiss,
Giving up Life's warm embrace.
I'll take my leave, I'll take a bow,
Hell is just aroud the bend.
I don't know why, I don't know how,
But Death is now my only friend.
Reaching for a stronger rope.
Destiny is drawing near,
And I think I've lost my hope.
Hands to help me, hands to save,
Hands to guide me, hands to pray.
Hands to lead me to my grave.
Hands to take my hope away.
Lost within the dark abyss,
Losing hope and losing faith.
Giving into Death's cold kiss,
Giving up Life's warm embrace.
I'll take my leave, I'll take a bow,
Hell is just aroud the bend.
I don't know why, I don't know how,
But Death is now my only friend.

That opening line sinks its teeth in like a horror movie
lurking in the shadows
"Drowning in a sea of terror"
"Reaching for a stronger rope"-strong to climb strong to hand, you have us on the edge of our seats.
the second stanza full of hands reminds me of the 1986 "Labyrinth" movie with the "helping hands" going up or down...so trippy
good imagery turning
"Giving into Death's cold kiss," we've got goose bumps running up and down our spines
"Giving up Life's warm embrace." -exit sunshine,happiness,and that warm happy feeling of being cared for and touched by love ever again
"I'll take my leave, I'll take a bow,
Hell is just around the bend. "- and as the curtains close the crowd goes wild because it was one hell of a show and ride.
"But Death is now my only friend"- Greeting Death as an old friend, they departed this life as equals.
bravo Helena_Sky, i loved it.
a hidden story just scratches under the surface of the iced over lake as someone screams up for air and no one does anything.
fantastic writing, keep'em coming.
