Death

Come with me

I have watched you suffer

at the hands of those you thought

were most dear.

You have battled this war too long,

wasting your time on people

who don’t care about you.

who won’t notice when you’re gone.

You can see them whispering to each other and looking at you

chuckling

about you

You have suffered enough, my love.

Come with me,

and your suffering will end.

The pain inside your soul will cease,

the endless turmoil

twisting and churning

driving a knife into your heart

and turning it

round and round

and round.

Those sleepless nights will not be so sleepless.

Those terrible memories

of people shoving you to the ground

parents arguing

close friends turning their backs on you,

it all will end.

Come with me,

and I will love you

in death

Till the end.
