Return to Hell

It is cold and dark.
It's lonely here too.
My heart is once again a block of ice,
And thus I am devoid of all emotion.

I was forced to return home
Which is engulfed in the flames of hell
Though it is close to the border,
I'd rather be on the other side, on Earth.

Once again I was forced to face the demons that I had left behind
Who, without haste, began pushing me to the heart of hell.
While those who I am very close relieved me of such stress a couple times,
The demons continued on,
Pushing and pulling,
And nothing could be done about it.

During the ordeal,
The one thing I feared
Returned once again
And this time there was no escape.

The void has come back
And the demons shoved me back in.
I was caught unaware
And as such, I could not even struggle.

Once again, I am floating within the void
Alone in the darkness that stretches on forever.
The coldness has frozen my heart
All except for one small thread.

It is only one small thread
A thread that is very delicate
Such that it can easily be shattered.
Yet, it is the one thread of my heart
That remains unfrozen.

Within the one thread is an image.
With it, there are memories.
With it, there is an emotion
The greatest of all emotions.
With it,
There is my humanity.

The image is that of my saviour
The one who had last pulled me out
The one who had completely thawed my heart
And the one whom I unintentionally frightened.

Though I am eveloped by the void,
The demons continue to bring me to the heart of hell.
Now the demons are beginning to struggle
It is more difficult for them to bring me closer to it.

It is because of that one thread of my heart
The one that remains unfrozen
It is the one and only lifeline that I have
That prevents me from returning to where I had gone almost 3 years ago.

However, my grasp is weakening
And my lifeline feels as if it may shatter.
I may always be there for others
And help them with such perils
But I am the one in the need of help once again
I need to be rescued not only from the void
But from the depths of hell.

Will my last saviour rescue me again?
Or will another one come through to save me?
Whoever it may be must hurry
For if I am pushed any farther into hell
I may not be able to come back out this time.
