Let Me Live

Reeling onto the faceless canvases of encasing past. I wade in my senseless senesces of thoughts asking for death.

"Right here, if you deduce me to be."

"You are, but, having you accompanied, I don't need you anymore."

I said, looking right into reaper's eyes, stumbled with scarred neck and intricate breath with every uneasy tear of mine, saying it a million times,

"let me live."
