Come Closer

Come closer. I fear you, but what can I say? You are the reliever. Come closer, Despite perspectives I’ve heard of you, How dere I? You are cruel, I take an initiative now, Come closer. In life, There comes a time To call all quits. Not that I give up, But I save many from pain. For the sake of the many, Come closer. This negative chapter Can’t continue anymore. It cannot be paused for later continuation. It cannot be revised or replayed. Bring it to an end. When I dare look back, A dark cloud hangs instantly. Doubt, sorrow, sadness, unpleasantness, Were the theme. Now fatigue is my new theme. I am weak. I have fallen enough, I have permitted enough, I have handled enough. I cannot permit or handle more. Cease this not for my sake. Now I only look forward to your coming. Harken to my emotional request. Make hast to come. Not to them but to me. Not for my sake but for theirs. Not later but now. I fear you.
