The Girls with the Hollow Eyes

The gatekeeper warned me
  To enter beyond the perimeter
  would be my own demise
Once in the bowels of Hell
  you lose all sense of self

They are a mere existence
  direct consequence
  to punching love
Ghosts
  living on the edge
  of the abyss

One foot in
  one foot out
So close
  they can still
  hear the Hell hounds shout
As the fresh bruises heal
  their breath is given out
  for another to steal
Clawing hands always
  reaching out
  deathly grasp
  wanting to hear the
  death rattle
  the strong shackle

I'll extend a hand in
  hoping one will reach & grab
Allowing the pull
  out of the dreary
  weary
  constant
  drab
